This is a song for one of my characters, for a future fanfic I'm writing. A few events have to take place in some other fanfics before this song is legitimate, but I wanted to write it now.
By the way, this isn't a love song in the traditional sense. It's a song about a mother and daughter. Who is the mother and who is the daughter? That remains a mystery for the time being.
And no, I didn't try to get it to rhyme. I never really do try too hard to get my songs to rhyme, for some reason.
Someone's Got To
By KC11
Sometimes
I think that life has no meaning
Sometimes
I think I'm just a pawn in someone's game
Sometimes
I want to end it all right now
But when I see a smile
Appear on her face
I know
That I can't leave yet
Because
Someone's got to teach her 'bout the world
Someone's got to tell her right from wrong
Someone's got to show her that sometimes
The world will kick you in the head
And you've just gotta get up
Again
Some days
I can't get through the pain
Some days
I think everyone's out to get me
Some days
I can't think straight, running all the time
But when I hear her cryin'
In the other room
I know
It's not time for me to go yet
Because
Someone's got to teach her 'bout the world
Someone's got to tell her right from wrong
Someone's got to show her that when the going gets tough
She just has to keep going on
And on
Everyday I have to trudge through the snow
of the world
To find my way to the truth
And every day
There's people
Telling me that
I should just quit
It all
And go away
Into oblivion
Yet they don't have a delicate life
In their trembling hands
No they
Don't understand what I
Have to go through
Every day I fight through the jungle
Just to make sure
She's safe and warm
Because
Someone's got to teach her 'bout the world
Someone's got to tell her right from wrong
Someone's got to watch her as she grows and learns
And she smiles
And she cries
Yeah, someone's got to make sure
She gets through life
Alright
