lyrics

In 1961 I wasn’t even born.
No one talked about me. I had no form.
What I am now was yet to be,
but I might have been something else.
There are more things in the world than you know.
It may surprise you to get lost in the flow, but take heart.

I’ve tried to stay out of the details in life,
to skirt the drama, all the struggle and strife,
but to no avail, it just finds me every time.
“Take the path of least resistance,” I say.
You’ll still be standing at the end of the day.
Life seems so pointless sometimes.
There are more things in this life than we see.
Still, it’s so surprising when I always lose me.
