Everything's so Everyday
"Seek God's kingdom, and all the other things you need will be given to you."~ Luke 12:31
The look in a child's eyes
the way things always work out,
even when it feels like nothing goes right
To sit and watch the sunrise
Realize that one thing is true
the One you keep trying to deny
Chorus:
breathe in
breathe out
something so ordinary
we rarily think about
assuming we'll wake up tomorrow
beyond a shadow of a doubt
Everythings so everyday
Tend to forget why we're here anyway
To laugh becomes an effort
a smile is everyday
You plaster it on mindlessly
another shade of make up on your face
Another senseless accessory
you use to adorn the emptiness you feel within
Who are you trying to fool? Who are you trying to convince?
breathe in
breathe out
something so ordinary
we rarely think about
assuming we'll wake up tomorrow
beyond a shadow of a doubt
Everything's so everyday
Tend to forget why we're here anyway
Everything's so everyday
the right will only get further
if you don't do something about it today
Don't let the rush of living
lead you astray
After all what's living,
when everything's so everyday?
The look in a child's eyes
the way things always work out,
even when it feels like nothing goes right
To sit and watch the sunrise
Realize that one thing is true
the One you keep trying to deny
Chorus:
breathe in
breathe out
something so ordinary
we rarily think about
assuming we'll wake up tomorrow
beyond a shadow of a doubt
Everythings so everyday
Tend to forget why we're here anyway
To laugh becomes an effort
a smile is everyday
You plaster it on mindlessly
another shade of make up on your face
Another senseless accessory
you use to adorn the emptiness you feel within
Who are you trying to fool? Who are you trying to convince?
breathe in
breathe out
something so ordinary
we rarely think about
assuming we'll wake up tomorrow
beyond a shadow of a doubt
Everything's so everyday
Tend to forget why we're here anyway
Everything's so everyday
the right will only get further
if you don't do something about it today
Don't let the rush of living
lead you astray
After all what's living,
when everything's so everyday?
I'm so glad you are sharing your heart and your wisdom with us. This one really touches me. I just returned from Haiti where nothing is "everyday" as I know it. And children look in your eyes and reach out to YOU, wanting to be touched and to know that everything will work out. I hope that this inspires those who read it to realize that everything in life is a gift from Him and that while we are here on earth, with our breath and our voices, we would feel called to further His Kingdom.
