Dont turn down the wrong path

Life is changing
before your eye
times will get hard
and make you cry

you might turn to drugs
or alcohol for support
but thats the easy way
to make your life stop short

you might as well be dead
if you're going to live like that
stay close to your loved ones
don't turn your back

there's people like you
who's choices were wrong
took the easy way out
but not for long

they got locked up
sent to hell
wanted to get out and get a job
but couldn't even spell

so instead keep living
don't turn down that path
live life to the fullest
make it last...
