To Each His Own
Navigating Life's Choices: To Each His Own by Tumbleweed Hill
Lyrics
The way this all came down tonight took me by surprise
The sudden unfolding of events tonight was unexpected for me.
I didn't even get the chance to look you in the eyes
I didn't have the opportunity to directly connect with you and communicate.
Your mama warned me how you can be
Your mother cautioned me about your nature or behavior.
She told me we have different dreams and different needs
She informed me that we have dissimilar aspirations and requirements.
But you can't see the forest for the trees
You are unable to perceive the whole situation clearly because you're too focused on minor details.
I know for sure that my daddy's proud of me
I am confident that my father feels a sense of pride in me.
It gets real clear as time passes on
As time goes by, things become more evident and understandable.
To each his own
Everyone has their own way of living or doing things.
Just because you're thinking that I'll trip and fall
Your expectation that I will fail shows our fundamental differences.
Just goes to show how much we're different after all
This just highlights how distinct we are despite any similarities.
You think you know just how I should be
You believe you understand how I should lead my life.
But some roam, some stay at home and raise a family
People have diverse paths: some travel, while others choose to settle down and raise a family.
Now you can't see the forest for the trees
Similar to earlier, your focus on minor details blinds you to the bigger picture.
I know for sure that my daddy's proud of me
I am certain that my father holds a strong sense of pride in me.
It gets real clear as time passes on
Things become clearer and more understandable as time progresses.
To each his own
Everyone has their own individuality and unique way of living.
Now I know I'm a better man than you want me to be
I'm aware that I am a better person than what you expect or desire me to be.
But with your head stuck in the ground, I know you'll never see
You are so entrenched in your beliefs that you're unable to perceive alternative perspectives.
I live my life the way I know is right
I lead my life based on what I believe is the right way for me.
And I rest easy when I lay down in my bed at night
I find peace of mind knowing I've lived according to my principles when I go to bed at night.
Now you can't see the forest for the trees
Similar to earlier references, your focus on minor details obscures your understanding of the larger reality.
I know damn well that my daddy's proud of me
I am absolutely certain that my father holds a great sense of pride in me.
It gets real clear as time marches on
As time continues, things become more evident and understandable.
To each his own
Each person has their own unique way of living and making choices.
To each his own
Individuals have the right to pursue their own paths in life.
