Magic in this world

 

i'm not the one that's suffering
i'm not the happiness inside
i'm not the emptiness or gandeur
that waits on the other side

theres a magic in this world
that never seems to end
if you belive in fairy tales
then you've got it all my friend

one day the sun is shining
one day is cold and wet
one day no one wants to get up
go to work and all the rest

ive got no particular purpose,
no calling or sermon to share
i just live my life one second at a time
and haven't got a care

some say im pollyanna
some the devil and his crew
others like the clothes i wear
well you know i do too

this particular day i'm here
tomorrow i might be gone
theres no rhyme or reason
its just the living song

i play my part right to the end
and try to tell truth from lies
sometimes i just have to give that up
and let that train go by

love's not always the answer
sometimes its a place to be
but everyone is a son of a gun
and you have to look out for your knees

one mans bible is another mans fiction
one mans love is another mans friction
nobody is where they want to be
unless of course they happen to be me

i got no rights or possessions
i'm a little bit funny that way
if someone needs
i'm glad to give
but dont lie to me today

i see into the darkness
i see through bright lights
i lost an eye
but i gained another
in the middle of  my mind

if you have a struggle
and you ask without your story
there could be some words i know
that end the pain and trouble
you're going through today

keep on the side of truth
and follow your own light
when you are all alone
its best not to start a fight

surrender all that pride and fear
let the good lord have his way
what is meant to happen
is sure to happen anyway

tomorrow is a your plaything
but right now is your life
get off the bench, get out there now
and never look back again

what you're supposed to do
is what you're doing right now,
start to give yourself some credit
for what you know how

the work starts here
and never ends
you're always doing better
if you make amends

take as much responsibility
for what happens in your life
understand its magic
and you create it every night
