School Of Life

School Of Life

Never travelled
’Round the world 
But been 
Around that block

Never really 
Finished school 
But read a
Many book

Didn’t chef 
Le Cordon Bleu
But surely 
I can cook

Didn’t train at 
Juilliard
But feet danced
All they could 

Never been to
Prison
But did
My own time

By building up 
So many walls
In my
Own mind

It isn’t where ya 
Went to school
It’s all in 
Where ya been

I’ve been around 
So many folks
Who’ve taught me
How to live
