Two Kevins

In the third grade

It was decisions that I made

A choice of admiration turned disdain

A friendship betrayed

By the whispers of a boy who had

Turned all attention his way

Learn to be friends

At that age it's hard to see

Learn to fight your enemies

We're attracted to those things

Those things we wish we could be

The two Kevins taught me a lesson

A lesson in life a lesson in pain

A lesson in friendship, a lesson

I would learn again and again

A changing of time

As our interests went their way

And the friends we made passed us by

A changing of place

Where we were at that time and the

Course that our own lives would take

Learn to be friends

To those who reach to you inside

Learn to fight your enemies

Holding back your fists because

You can fight them with your mind

The two Kevins taught me a lesson

A lesson in life a lesson in pain

A lesson in friendship, a lesson

I would learn again and again

They wouldn't learn who's

Friendships were genuine

It didn't shine through

Eventually I saw the way

Lead by the people who's hearts

And souls and minds rang true
