V1
Well, I wake up to see…a brand new day.
I’ve crawled, I’ve walked, and I’ve dance & I’ve played.
Now, I was held by human arms, and I was loved along the way…
With some kisses and hugs, and other kids around my way.
And the seasonz changed… And some people are now gone.
While a toddler grows, The man sings this song
Chorus Instrumental
V2
Well, the seasonz change, and the world revolves…
And the stories are told. And some questions are solved.
And the people, they live, just as this Earth does too…
She’s had a longer stay here than me and you.
Well, Love, it grows only by Wisdom’s hand.
And I’ve lost my father to Time’s old sand.
Chorus Instrumental
V3
Now, I’m finding my way, yup, along my path.
And Rhythm whispers, “Boy, you’d better mind your math.”
Now, I’ve made some strong mistakes, and I’ve learned a great deal too…
If I were to die right now, gurl, I would leave it all to you!
I said I’d leave it all to you. I said I’d leave it all to you!
Chorus Instrumental
V4
Well, love too many people to do what I might do;
While I hold a healing heart, no oxygen, because it’s blue.
And Now I see, just as, now, I know;
That I’m just a human in Life’s new show!
And the days, they pass, as the people do too…
And I’m doing my best, gurl, to hold onto you!
To hold on to you… To hold on to you…
And I’m doing my best, gurl, to hold onto you!
Chorus Instrumental (4 measures)
V5
Well, the seasonz change, and the stories grow!
And this life, we live it, by now, you should know;
That the sacred is everywhere. And this time, too, shall pass…
While everything is everything, come on, now, smile and laugh.
Come on, now, smile and laugh.
Come on, now, smile and laugh.
Smile and laugh….
Smile and laugh….
Chorus Instrumental
