Let Me Live

Let me cut my own hair.
If it looks horrible let me learn,
not to touch scissors & that hair grows back.

Let me spend my money.
If the shirt's too little & the store doesn't give refunds,
let me learn to save my cash.

Let me kiss a boy.
If he thinks it's just a fling & I got my heart broken,\let me learn that some boys are just that way.

Let me flunk my test.
If I fail the class & miss the honor-roll list,
let me learn to study more.

Let me miss the shot.
If my team & I'm on the bench,
let me learn to concentrate on the basket.

Let me go out past curfew.
If I get grounded & miss the big party this weekedend,
let me learn to follow the rules.

But most important, let me live.
If I learn a lesson,
you're done your part.
