the fisherman

u see and old man fishing an empty lake
has no boat, and has no bait
but he does what he can
u see him catch nothing everyday
and u dont no what 2 say
to that lonley old man
so u cast right next 2 him
he looks at u and gives u a grin
and then he turns away
he said 2 u at the end of the day
ur the only thing ive cought fishin this way
and u didnt no what 2 say
so offer him a beer and some grub
but he said, no sir ive had enough
but he didnt eat or drink
he packs up his gear and rod
b4 he walks away, he gives a nod
and then u just think
what if i were like him
would i be happy with
the way i live
and the things i give
goin 2 work and nothin 2 show 4 it
would i get bored of it
i ask him the next day
"what is it like"
and that old man said
how do u think it feels to go do nothing everyday
throw my line out with nothing on the end
reel it in and go home and pray
pray 2 be some day what i have been
its hard 2 think about my biggest love
bcuz all i no is whats in that frosted mug
so i throw out my line just 2 forget
what i lost and what i got left
and u didnt no what 2 say
thats when the old man turned away
