Mother's Words Lyrics - Rise To The Occasion - Kurt Nilsen

You see, I don't like thunder 

I can't stand the rain 

And the wind kept coming strong 

It swept me off my feet again 

As the days were getting darker the night got so long 

Another reason to remind myself that life gets sometimes rough 

There's a world outside this window 

Listen to my words 

It's no place for bargain or soft types 

Many fall off as well 

And don't be a blind fool if love comes along 

It'll swallow and spit you out just like it did to your mom

So don't build a bridge if you can't stand on it 

Don't talk of love as you invented it 

Don't say I told you so - it hurts 

That's the way it goes 

Don't walk the storm if you're afraid of it 

Don't pick a fight if you can't handle it 

Stand up straight and learn to live with it 

It's life 

That's the way it goes 

You see, it makes no difference whatever you do 

As long as you find happiness you'll always find a way through 

And don't marry the first girl that comes along 

Oh, I know you'll get disappointed 

Take it from someone who knows

Don't build a bridge if you can't stand on it 

Don't talk of love as you invented it 

Don't say I told you so - it hurts 

And that's the way it goes 

Don't walk the storm if you're afraid of it 

Don't pick a fight if you can't handle it 

Stand up straight and learn to live with it 

It's life 

That's the way it goes 

You should have seen me a long time ago 

Living my glory days in the sun 

And if you can't stand it that I tell you, boy 

You'll find it out for yourself 

I am only here to support you 

Just like a mother is supposed to do 

Don't build a bridge if you can't stand on it 

Don't talk of love as you invented it 

Don't say I told you so - it hurts 

That's the way it goes 

Don't walk the storm if you're afraid of it 

Don't pick a fight if you can't handle it 

Stand up straight and learn to live with it 

It's life 

And that's the way it goes
