Chuck's Lament
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think one drop of water in the ocean
Could be the one that sets a wave in motion
That roams around the world
I think one grain of sand upon the beach
Could be the one that lifts you high enough to reach
All around the world
Through the days of endless dreaming
All our lifelong games are played
Watching all the world before us
Waiting for the big parade
You and me, do we leave it to the children?
You and me, what are we leaving what will we be?
You and me, when we're standing and be counted
You and me, do we give it up or let it be?
In my nightmare I am dreaming
All my fears are here with me
I can't wait to find the answer
Face the future and let us be
You and me, do we leave it to the children?
You and me, what are we leaving what will we be?
You and me, when we're standing and be counted
You and me, do we give it up or let it be?
I can't wait to find the answer
Face the future and let us be
I can't wait to find the answer
Face the future and let us be
