David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

When I was little,
I simply didn’t know,
I relied on my mother,
And my father, oh so!

They said “You can’t do that”,
I believed they really knew,
They were my only way to be…
Responsible.

Chorus
Trusting those who care for me,
Who made it safe to live,
Who tried to make it all turn out,
The shocks of being human.
_______

As my body grew and thoughts matured,
I learned to see my plight,
And then the sudden shock to find,
I live within my sight.

What I can see is what I see,
No more no less, what is,
Then a shock occurs that wakes me up,
I realize I’m only human.

Chorus
Trusting those who care for me,
Who made it safe to live,
Who tried to make it all turn out,
The shocks of being human.

Responsibility is used a lot,
For someone else’s code,
They may be right, they may be wrong,
Did I accept the wrong download?

But what about my integrity,
Isn’t that part of being right,
I can only trust what I see myself,
As I learn to grasp my plight.

As I live the life of human,
I see I’m who I am,
I try to live with that and more,
As I dodge the endless spam.

Chorus
Trusting those who care for me,
Who made it safe to live,
Who tried to make it all turn out,
The shocks of being human.
_______

I start to form my own real code,
A code that comes from me,
The final test,”Do I trust myself”,
The ultimate responsibility.

Chorus
Trusting those who care for me,
Who made it safe to live,
Who tried to make it all turn out,
The shocks of being human.

Chorus
Trusting those who care for me,
Who made it safe to live,
Who tried to make it all turn out,
The shocks of being human.
