More than a year's gone by since I lost my mother

Since she left I've thought well what's the point

I've thought well I don't know what I'm doing here

What's the point if the meaning's not clear?

But after crying, the clouds are clearing

My mother's teaching me to make a mark

You see she, she lived with pride and she, spoke her mind and

When she left, that's what she left behind



[Chorus]

The point we're missing

It's not what you had, it's how you lived

The point we're missing

It's who you were and what you did



Don't need no diamond rings

Don't need to live like kings

And I still don't know what we're doing here

Try to make a mark and make my presence clear

To challenge right wing culture and move beyond

Live for life, it's not too far gone

Exist or live, is time well spent?

And once you start thinking then you'll know



[Chorus]



It's and Iconoclast, has your moment passed?

There's time to make it right

You've got to try and to try cause there's just no giving in



I'm on the outside, on the outside looking in

I saw the battle of a lifetime

And she tried, and we tried, and we're never giving in

Because I'll see you on the bright side



[Chorus]



It's how you live and it's who you were

It's what you did...it's a one way street
