I'm sure that I'm moving to St Louis

Three long years wondering here in New York City

I guess I'm looking for the right way to do this

I guess I'm looking for the right things to call pretty

Young boys playing in the park turning their backs to take a shot

You know I'll stay sharp around here 'cause they're stoning and leaving type

It's the kind of love that comes and goes when there's company coming around

What's a boy to do who knows no man now?

What's a boy to do who knows no man now?

Daddy's been looking down his nose at all of them

And I've been looking round for someone to tell me who I am

He kept saying I was to young to finish a fight

I'd die each time they came I never got to draw my knife

Well it was just a pair of shoes in a middle school room with the world watching in

And angel is crying I'm dying just a little inside as they ran away

Funny which words stick around 20 years down when you're driving alone

What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?

What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?

Well I'll stack all my books in perfect rows

From the biggest down to the smallest ones

And I buy all the perfect clothes

Bullet proof and black, where I look like a son

Well it was just a rain night at his house

A bottle spinning around the room

And everybody's singing and slipping down the bottom of a halfway rush of blood

And I was grabbing Missy but I was trying to find the light switch in the dark

What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?

What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?

It's all quiet for the first time

With no voices left to fall

I saw a boy at the bottom of the bridge

His car was left there on the top

It's four o'clock in the morning

Didn't need to be like this

There's a white sheet left to cover up

What should have been a holy kiss

It's not like those days

It's not like I'm scared of you

What's the son of man and a boy to do?

What's the son of man and a boy to you?

*Midnight Song**"What's a Boy to Do?"* *Mat Kearney?*~If valuing the ignorance and flaws of society is right than so is everyone that dies because they couldn't belong in it.-Tom*You are beautiful - no, pictures won't help prove me otherwise. Who you are is beautiful, what you dream is beautiful, and no one should be able to tell you otherwise just because it's what everybody else says.*To those who still believe in majority rules~People are sick,Society needs to stop smoking, taking advantage of each other, and doing whatever it takes just to get to the next paycheck,No, those other people need to stop living in a chapter of the history book where women still couldn't vote and prejudice was encouraged.If you can't love yourself the way you are then can you really love anything else without that getting in the way?~Tom(Note, the notifications this post sends out to people in my followers are general and are not aimed at any one person, it was just easier than putting a bunch of names here)

"Well I'll stack all my books into perfect rows, from the biggest down to the smallest ones. And I buy all the perfect clothes - bullet proof and black, well I look like a son ..."I forgot how much I love this album. This song reminds me of Javi Esposito - at least the version that exists in my head. +Lindsey Clements probably knows why, as we tend to time-share my brain ...

So, pretty much, God does what is best for the people. Plus, if you know anything about God, you know that He wouldn't have killed them if they would not have had a second chance!

NO one is innocent.We're born with a human nature that separates us from God, but He gave us the choice to repent, and forgives us. God gave you life, though, and that means He has the right to take it away!! Part of the Ten Commandments: "For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing MERCY unto thousands of them that love me and keep My Commandments."
