about

Life looked at from the midpoint both backward and forward.

lyrics

when I was a boy
I studied the sky
wondering who’s up there
and how long and why
but the more that I looked
the less that I heard
sometimes I still glance upward
expecting some word

Moses he walked 40 years in the sand
looking for something
he might understand
god it must have been hard
at the end of the day
to go to his flock
and find something to say

they call them dreams
because they might come true
it’s important to me
how about you
we careen through this life
on the edge of control
like a feather aloft
when the wind starts to blow

now I’m all grown up
it’s not what it seems
I still glance upwards
I have the same dreams
the one I like best
is where I rule the world
I buy everyone snickers
and kiss my best girl

in my next life
I don’t know where I’ll be
I might be a candle
I might just be me
but something simple and restful
white clouds in the air
I know I’ll still be smiling
if I’m still somewhere
