You're Still Here

They’ve been lying about you
Saying you’re something you’re not
When you’ve always just been
Exactly what you are
You’ve been making a universe
Out of a thousand ideas
And it can be
Hard to tell the light bulbs from the stars
But so far
You have come through
By the skin of your teeth
Since the very beginning of eternity
Even though you never did quite fit in
And every horizon hides some past event
And some future you’re scared of
You can’t circumvent
And you never have quite hit Zen
But so far
You’re still here
And it’s still now
You’re still here
And it’s still now
They’ve been lying about you
Saying you’re something you’re not
When you’ve always just been
Exactly what you are
You’ve been making a universe
Out of a thousand ideas
And it can be
Hard to tell the light bulbs from the stars
You’re still here
And it’s still now

One Good Thing

Well, one good thing about music
When it hits, you feel no pain
And when I stomp my feet and I clap my hands
I feel no shame
Oh Lord, won’t you hit me with some music
Every day, Lord, every day
Lord, won’t you hit me with some music
Every way, Lord, every way
Well now some folks like to make their own music
Some folks like to plant their own seeds
And some folks stand on the backs of some other folks
Just to prove they’re free
Oh lord, won’t you hit me with some music
Every day, Lord, every day
Lord, won’t you hit me with some music
Every way, Lord, every way
You can read your Bible
You can read your Quran
You can read your Torah, too
But your messiah’s been there all along
In every Christian, Muslim, and Jew (and atheists, too)
Lord, won’t you hit me with some music
Every day, Lord, every day
Lord, won’t you hit me with some music
Every way, Lord, every way

Let me take you back
Remember who you are
Oh let me take you back now
Remember who you are
Well you know you can do it
You know you got to
It don’t matter that
You don’t want to, baby
Whatever it is oh
You gotta do it til you’re satisfied
And if you don’t
You gotta do it til you get it right
Let me take you back
Remember who you are
Oh let me take you back
Remember who you are
Oh times are hard
I ain’t saying they ain’t
Gotta deal with a whole lotta
Hurry up and wait, now child
Well sometimes I don’t know
What’s gonna happen to my life
But I know the world gonna turn
And the sun gonna shine
Now let me take you back
Remember who you are
Oh let me take you back
Remember who you are
Well we all know something
We’re trying to figure out what we don’t
So we can get to where we’re going
So we can figure out how
Come on now let me take you back
Remember who you are
Oh let me take you back now
Remember who you are
Ah let me take you back now
Remember who you are
Oh let me take you back
Remember who you are

House of Cards
03:15
|

|
Well this old world is pretty tough on a dreamer
When you wake up and put your feet on the cold bare floor
And you have a couple tokes
Cause you don’t want to think about
All the scary monsters on the other side of your door
And you stay up in your room playing solitaire
And every now and then you catch a pretty lucky hand
And you call me on the phone cause you don’t want to be alone
But my dear friend I’m gonna have to take a stand
Cause I’m not gonna help you to build no house of cards
Where nothing really matters and you’re always starting over again
I got me a brick house but I still got to be on guard
Against the cold rain and snow that’s always trying to creep in
Well you know I’d really like to help you
You wanna grab a cup of coffee, you know I’m buyin’
But when you try to drag me into to things that just don’t make a like of sense
Well that’s where I’m gonna have to draw the line
I’m not gonna help you to build no house of cards
Where nothing really matters and you’re always starting over again
I got me a brick house but I still got to be on guard
Against the cold rain and snow that’s always trying to get in
Well you know that you could have a good life
It’s an uphill battle but man that’s just the game
And I cannot tell exactly how to proceed
But if you’re shooting for the stars I hope you’re blessed with bad aim
No I’m not gonna help you to build no house of cards
Where nothing really matters and you’re always starting over again
I got me a good woman so I always got to be on guard
Against the cold rain and snow that’s always trying to get in
Oh that cold rain and snow that’s always trying to get in
Oh the cold rain and snow that’s always trying to get in

Everybody Dreams
03:23

Inside my beating heart I feel
A signal
Seems like the only thing that’s real
It has all the terms of the deal
In symbols
Like a Rosetta Stone newsreel
And everybody dreams the night away
As we pick up the pieces from the remains of the day
And everybody tells themselves
Whatever they need to keep on making hay
Outside the sun is past the sky
Six trillion miles
Ancestor to a firefly
It sends a signal with its light
It says “shine shine”
Through the depth of the darkest night
And everybody dreams the night away
As we pick up the pieces to the remains of the day
And everybody tells themselves
Whatever they need to keep on making hay
Within your blinking eyes you send
Blessings
Salinized comprehension
Sights you see
Like a flock you tend
And when you’re falling asleep
Count up the things that you forgot to mention
And everybody dreams the night away
As we pick up the pieces to the remains of the day
And everybody tells themselves
Whatever they need to keep on making hay
