I was a'strolling round, thinking about how I never cared about a thing at all
I tripped on my heart, you know my face hit the ground, I got my blood pouring down, I guess I really do care whether or not I fall
Then this little rock says to me, "Hey there boy why you be rollin' round off your feet when you can walk? You better not answer that! No no no no not a word, you gotta just shut your mouth and let the truth roll over you!"
You say you've read a lot? You say you've heard a lot? Considered your lot in life and you still don't have a clue? Well let me tell you!
Life is not always easy, is not made of tasty pies and cheeses and fine silken scarves
Life is not only sunshine, sometimes you will find thorny vines wrapped about your heart as you sit in the dark
Then I get stopped by this lady she says you look good baby
Maybe you can save me 'cause I really do not know where I am
She goes, "I got lost some time ago with things I really should've known would only make me feel so low and lord, I never felt so alone!"
Now she cries, "I'm so distraught with the things I been taught, everything I have sought has not been what I want...and now this thought's all I got"
Life is not always easy, is not made of trips with boys and morals so black and white
Life is not only sunshine, sometimes you will find thorny vines wrapped about your heart as you sit in the dark
Now you gotta be great oh you gotta be good you gotta be so much better than your parents ever could
You got this sh** you call problems well you know they ain't real, you made 'em up in your mind because it feels so goddamn good to feel
So how 'bout you play the sun and I'll play the earth and everything that we create will be the universe?
I don't know why I'm here again I know what's behind that door, but still I scratch & scream, "What the f** am I still standing here for?"
Because each day it hurts more
Life is not always easy, is not made of singalongs in moments that sparkle and shine
Life is not only sunshine, sometimes you will find thorny vines wrapped about your heart as you sit in the dark
Life is often so painful, so full of sorrow, even god can't help but cry...but still, I think, everything'll be fine.
