RYAN MCWHERTER lyrics : "Retention 5-9-13"

Verse 1
If a child was given the power to influence the movement of the sun,
She'd start crying to hide that she's really having fun.

Would she keep the sun up in the sky?
or Would she send it far way,
and cause everyone to freeze,

then of course we'd die
Chorus 1
She'd have the best intensions

don't we all,
But we lose retention,
while we age,

is there anything that can fill that space?
And how could just one girl, be my saving grace?
Verse 2

If an average blue collar man was given the power to influence the movement of the sun,
Would he quit trying to raise his family,
since he can't pamper his wive or even feed his son


Would he keep the sun up in the sky?
Or crash down upon the earth,

and cause everyone to fry,
then of course, we'd die
Chorus

Verse 3
If I had the power to influence te movement of the sun,
I' like to think i'd leave it right where it is,

and that I've learned not to run

But i'd keep the sun up in the sky

so that everyone, even those not known or loved
can still get their piece of the pie


Chorus
I had the best intensions, don't we all
but we lose retention while we age,

is there a way to fill that space?
Can this town really be my saving grace?


End Chorus
It's a mad game of the mind,
searching for the love of all human kind,

I hope I find it in time
I cannot be your saving grace,
but I still dont understand how just one man,

could ever take my place
