lyrics
s o m a n y d a y s
it's a life in time, seasons turn like pages
children grow so fast, people act on stages
such a lot to do, so many blessins
dreams are sometimes true,
good or bad they're lessons
so the story goes, not everything is matter
leave only footprints, climb up on that ladder
do the best you can, listen with a keen ear
open every day, breathe a little deeper
so many days, so many years
so many stories, in a world of tears
so many roads, so many words
so many songs never to be heard
it's okay to care, be aware of blindness
reach out your hand, share a little kindness
it's all a circle, you won't be backed in a corner
so the story goes – on and on like water
what's a life well-led? there's so many questions
so much potential, different intentions
like a masquerade, a homemade parade of faces
some are lifelong friends, others time erases
so many days, so many years
so many roads, so many tears
so many stories, so many words
so many songs never to be heard
that world we know has never been forgotten
it opens every moment
no matter how you're distracted
spin the crooked wheel,
win a box of chickens
you could be the next inventor
of somethin finger lickin
if you only knew the sound inside your ocean
you'd reach behind the mirror
and touch the maybe never
you can live by heart, you can open a window
see behind the door, don’t forget to knock it
like that look you have the way you sing tog ether
that song inside your river will carry me forever
so many days, so many years
so many roads, so many tears
so many stories, TOO many words
so many songs never to be heard
reach for the sky,
stand a little taller
see how wild the world is
feel a little smaller
even though you know
you may never find it,
the perfect missing chord
and how to get lost behind it
the pulsing of yr blood, it's autonomic
history proves again
everything's comic-cozmic…
