lyrics

Everyday I get out of bed with wonder in my eyes,
if life doesn't amaze you, kid, you might as well die.
It's a free ride, one way, your ticket's already been paid.
So live your life, build your dreams, shape that ball of clay .

Everyday I get out of bed with wonder in my eyes,
if life doesn't amaze you then you might as well die.
It's a free ride, one way, your ticket's already been paid.
So live your life, build your dreams, shape that ball of clay .

I was walking on a trail when I realized that air wasn't stale,
and the feeling that it gave me brought the brave inside out
to play in the skies. There's a reminder to find a kinder nature,
so begin practice of a new situation
where you're conscious of the consequences of comets colliding.
Deciding your fate in an instant to late to bring pride into
the equation. Abrasion was your persuasion
to deal with the real situations in a fake form of mind!
Kind of scary feeling wary of being in your presence,
that's why I present to you a wooded view of life
and all it has to offer. Softer gaze upon this beautiful
landscape, take what the universe has given.
It's the only provisions we need, and yes we bleed
but it's only now so just remember how,
it's only now so just remember how to live!

Everyday I get out of bed with wonder in my eyes,
if life doesn't amaze you, kid, you might as well die.
It's a free ride, one way, your ticket's already been paid.
So live your life, build your dreams, shape that ball of clay .

One foot in front of the other foot, I will never stagnate.
Good and bad with me in the middle, hide and seek at a snail's pace.
I know how the nails taste, I've dug with the earthworms
and broke my frail face trying to figure out where my hurt burns.
I guess I'll always learn, love, fuck and fight.
The Sun is keepin' this side bright, so now I'm swimming in the light.
The frightened fool I used to know? He's drowning in the undertow,
they used to call him me, but that was before I felt my hunger grow.
Sometimes I wonder though, why is everyone crying?
Every breath is a sigh of relief, yet you're gasping and dying!
You can empty bottles, build sorrow, and say you'll change tomorrow,
but there's very little time to be borrowed.
Are you trying to rain all over your sunny days?
Break your frame of mind, kid, go outside and play
in the traffic, break a bad habit, write a graphic novel,
take a weed nap, start trying to solve your problems - happiness will follow!

Everyday I get out of bed with wonder in my eyes,
if life doesn't amaze you, kid, you might as well die.
It's a free ride, one way, your ticket's already been paid.
So live your life, build your dreams, shape that ball of clay .

Live. Build. Shape.
