| Handmedowns © Copyright George Papavgeris, November 2008 You pause inside the door To get a kiss from the one you adore Then rush about your day To do whatever you must do to get paid And you take pride in your possessions and home You've earned it with your sweat and built it alone But every little thing you think that you own They're only hand-me-downs They're only hand-me-downs Only your friends and your dreams are your own And all the rest of your life is on loan They're only hand-me-downs You love your children too You feed and raise them and they take after you Only to leave the fold As they get older and you simply get old Perhaps they'll visit you with their kids in tow They may be grateful for the love you bestow But there will come a day you have to let go They're only hand-me-downs They're only hand-me-downs Only your friends and your dreams are your own And all the rest of your life is on loan They're only hand-me-downs Your world is a bequest You work your job at someone else's behest The gods to whom you pray Are from another place and some other day If there's a war then others will have the say And they will send you though you 'd much rather stay Think of the earth where you'll be buried one day They're only hand-me-downs They're only hand-me-downs Only your friends and your dreams are your own And all the rest of your life is on loan They're only hand-me-downs |
