Well son, I'll tell you
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair
It's had tacks in it
And splinters
And boards torn up
And places with no carpet on the floor
Bare
But all the time
I'se been climbin on
and reachin landin's
And turnin corners
And sometimes goin in the dark
Where there ain't been no light
So, Boydon't you turn back
Don't you set down on the steps
Cause you find it kinda hard
Don't you fall now
For I'se still goin honey
I'se still climbin
And life for me, ain't been no crystal stair
