It is, absolutely, any way you slice it, pretty amazing — the twists and turns and where it will take you. There’s ups and downs and things that are going to hurt real bad and things that are going to feel great and you’ve just got to take it all together and look at the picture and say, “Hey, this is it — this is life as we know it, see it for what it is and love every minute of it.”
all the roads are closed today
and all the light has gone away
did you think that I was gone
run off to chase a song
babe my work is never done
I can't set the sun
and I cannot outrun..
the traps are being set for me
and I stumble on unwittingly
but I'm never down for long
find my way i ramble on
babe my work is never done
I can't set the sun
and I cannot outrun
can't you see?
life is amazing to me
a perfect life in harmony
makes sour notes
inaudibly
but the only words you'll hear
smolder out and disappear
babe this ain't the time to fear
there's nothing for us her
open your eyes, dear…
can't you see?
life is amazing to me
