lyrics

People trying to live their very best lives.
People searching for love with their eyes.
Yearning for someone to look back at them
in some special way.
Might make a real good story
with one of them some day.

People pushing their weight against the plow.
People who see what’s in front of them
right now.
Hands in the earth with a wish
to make something grow.
Filled to the brim with reasons
they don’t need to know.

People and all their ingenious ways
just for the sake of passing away the days,
out on the porch swings
on nights as calm as a tomb,
through seasons beneath
the restful gaze of the moon.

Children with their effervescent blood.
Children who romp
through the rain and the mud.
No need to think a second about what they do.
You might remember the way it was
if you really wanted to.
