Everything

i looked at the sunset

low in the sky

i looked down the valley

a river run dry

i look all around me

and can't even see

the beauty surrounding everything

i left my home

when i was young

i never knew clearly

where i came from

but i didn't notice

i didn't blink

i just went out searching for everything

deep in the forest i found a clearing

i was afraid to let you in

then i heard you say all things they pass away

and i looked at the sky

i felt the virgin snow

fall on my face

and i thought about the time

you spoke of some grace

now there is a reason

for everything

even a robin sometimes

learns how to sing

but i didn't notice

i didn't blink

i just went out searching for everything

words and music
