There is only so much that we can know
On this journey to laugh and grow.
The need for perfection burdens us so
On this journey to laugh and grow.
It carries the baggage, lugs it in tow
On this journey to laugh and grow.
Prevents us from striving, takes yeast from dough
On this journey to laugh and grow.
But the pursuit of knowledge helps us to go
On this journey to laugh and grow.
And the beauty of the trek keeps us in flow
On this journey to laugh and grow.
We make connections that keep us aglow
On this journey to laugh and grow.
We really know nothing of this life even so.
When we realize this we will laugh, we will grow.
Candlelight's soft glow illuminates the chins
That support awkward smiles and sheepish grins
Invisible between to people is an invigorating spark
That is only amplified by the glow and the dark
A moment that makes you feel like a child
With butterflies that make your insides go wild
Something shared that's been unsaid
Your brain has gotten up and fled.
As autumn leaves come falling down
You'll find me wandering the town
Listening to my favorite sounds
Shuffling rainbow leaves on the ground
I ponder how I feel so lonely
And how you are my one and only
The sacrifices I must make
Because I want to have and eat my cake
I know I'm young so time moves slowly
I feel it quicken day by day
On the outside my time feels so wasted
In my mind it never goes away
There is only so much that we can know
On this journey to laugh and grow.
The need for perfection burdens us so
On this journey to laugh and grow.
It carries the baggage, lugs it in tow
On this journey to laugh and grow.
Prevents us from striving, takes yeast from dough
On this journey to laugh and grow.
But the pursuit of knowledge helps us to go
On this journey to laugh and grow.
And the beauty of the trek keeps us in flow
On this journey to laugh and grow.
We make connections that keep us aglow
On this journey to laugh and grow.
We really know nothing of this life even so.
When we realize this we will laugh, we will grow.
Candlelight's soft glow illuminates the chins
That support awkward smiles and sheepish grins
Invisible between to people is an invigorating spark
That is only amplified by the glow and the dark
A moment that makes you feel like a child
With butterflies that make your insides go wild
Something shared that's been unsaid
