Yeah. Another one. Oh well. That's life?!
So...since I don't feel like actually trying to describe life...I'll fall back on my habit of using song lyrics. Enjoy (and don't read to much into them).
*****************
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees
But it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what went wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hourand sing an American tune
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest
*****************
I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no pain
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
*****************
Some folks' lives roll easy as a breeze
Drifting through a summer night
Heading for a sunny day
But most folks' lives, they stumble
Lord they fall
Through no fault of their own
Most folks never catch their stars
And here I am, Lord
I'm knocking at your place of business
I know I ain't got no business here
But you said
If I ever got so low
I was busted,You could be trusted
Some folks' lives roll easy
Some folks' lives never roll at all
They just fall
They just fall
Some folks' lives
*****************
How is it that Paul Simon never fails to capture my feelings on any particular day?
