I buried a part of my soul today that I didn’t want to leave
The part of me that never gave up – the part that made me believe
That everything was possible as long as you gave your best
But now the tree’s cut down and you really put me to the test
I could give you a hundred reasons to quit
You would let none pass
You could be there with a pat on the back
You could be there with a kick in the ass
Whichever one was needed to make me see the light
Funny thing was you always seemed to hit the one that’s right
It’s funny sometimes when you think about it
All of lives valleys and hills
Sometimes it even drops you deeper than that
And it’s going to take a long, long time for that hole to fill
And when it does it doesn’t give you quite the thrill
So many people come and go in our lives
Most leave without a trace
And then there’s the kind that will help you to find
Help you find your place
The things that were said and the things that were taught
They will not go in vain
So goodbye old friend until we hook up again
