Lyrics
Taking comfort in the little things,
the day to dayness of them brings
relief from such a busy world
that is hanging by a string.
Take away the weight of fallen dreams,
and all that's left is all of me
blindfold off with more to see.
Time has a way of dealing with things,
and as much as I pretend that I can swim
against a current that never leads upstream,
I hope that is all it seems to be.
Take away the weight of fallen dreams,
and all that's left is all of me
with blindfold off and more to see.
Taking comfort in the little things,
the day to dayness of them brings
relief from such a busy world
that is hanging by a string.
Making way for life's chronology,
time won't stop so nor should we.
We can't let this busy world
keep us from our dreams.
Take away the weight of fallen dreams.
Cast it off and underneath,
we will find the people that
we were meant to be.
