Make the best of your situation, no matter what. Go out there
and be bold enough to claim your steak in a World of tuff
competition.

lyrics

"The Gate" (Allen Cox)

Can you seek a life?
Are you ready to fly?
Shielded danger
But now you're exposed
The road of life filled with it's potholes
Giant hills
We must find our energy
Put on your face
Don't show your weakness
Some may hate you
Look 'em right in the eye
You have a purpose
Your head screwed on tight
The human law
Don't break the golden rule

(Chorus)
You got the chance
Got to make it right
Life is so short so don't waste time
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
Now it is time and you must leave your home
May God be with you where ever you roam
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up for you

Make your bed good
For in it you must lay
Complete your task
Attention to detail
Keep a promise
Don't let your brothers down
No deception
Don't paint us fantasy
Earn what you get
Pay for dishonesty
Carry the pride that's always been our name
Be respectful
Show some courtesy
Don't be a fool
Have some dignity

(Chorus 2)
You got the chance to make it in life
Life is so short so don't waste time
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
Now it is time and you must leave your home
May God be with you where ever you roam
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you

You're on your own
Now go make us proud
Leaving the nest
You will fall down
We won't be there to pick you up so...
You must be strong
It's a long road
If you do right you'll have your friends
They'll help you through
Through the thick and thin
Hold your head high
Show your confidence
You know you're good
Chances are you'll win

(Chorus 3)
Now it is time and you must leave your home
May God be with you where ever you roam
Open up the latch and walk on through
The gateway of life opens up to you
