Tiny Life

Looking down out of this little round window On silver wings at 20,000 feet With lakes and streams and fields of green I tend to think the most peculiar things Ribbons of highways, side roads and byways People going all ways, always in a hurry Gotta get there, but just where? From up here, ?I'm not sure Where it's all going or what it all means But sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing I close my eyes and I realize all I really need Is love I have, and the love I have to give Anything else there is - is insignificant In this tiny life Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays And some days are better than some days Can't see the sky, skyscrapers too high Thirty second daydream at another red light I'm back in my hometown of roads that we rode down Those sights and sounds are just yesterday's now There's deadlines and stress lines and too much on my mind I'm getting it all, but what's it all for? Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing I close my eyes and I realize all I really need Is love I have, and the love I have to give 'Cause anything else there is - is insignificant In this tiny life The love we make, the dreams we share The friends we have in our short time here It's knowing God's grace, the touch of a hand Holding a baby, calling mom and dad It's making the most of the moments we have And getting to live long enough to look back On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter It's all that really matters Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing I close my eyes and I realize all I really need Is love I have, and the love I have to give Anything else there is - is insignificant It doesn't matter, in this tiny life
