You've gotta take it day by day.

One step at a time.

Let love guide your way and hope fuel your mind.

And when the path goes out beneath your feet trust and you will find

that your heart knows the way the whole time.

When you let it shine!

So if I get rich and famous because I write some symphony,

will you tell your fledgling family of my musical mastery

or will you say I was a good man, who loves with his whole heart

as I fade into the darkness that I came from at the start.

Remind myself what I do this for

in these empty rooms with these sticky floors.

To heal my heart, find my way,

maybe help someone with these words we say.

Take this cedar, take this pine,

for none of it is mine.

I am just a guest here for a short time.

The smoke smells so sweet.

Ancient pleasures so discreet.

Connecting us with the roots beneath our feet.
