The Great Forever
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.
Not too pleased with what you’re diggin’
I’m just busy livin’ my life
Sources say but where ya gettin’ it
Don’t create the truth you like
It might sound strange to you
But what you think it
Don’t mean nothing at all
Doesn’t change who I am
Doesn’t change who I love
Livin’ my life
The way that I hope
Is leading me to
The great forever
Forever I will choose
Watch what I’m doing
Watch where I’m going
Tryin’ get to
The great forever
Forever is the truth
If you wrong would admit it
And take the heat up under the lights
Use your expert criticism
Then maybe you could get a life
Don’t like seeing people happy
Is it jealousy or personal
‘Cause I don’t see why loving someone
Or what I do seem so radical to you
It might sound strange to you
But what you think it
Don’t mean nothing at all
Doesn’t change who I am
Doesn’t change who I love
Livin’ my life
The way that I hope
Is leading me to
The great forever
Forever I will choose
Watch what I’m doing
Watch where I’m going
Tryin’ get to
The great forever
Forever is the truth
Once you know why you’re here
It becomes crystal clear
To love someone is divine
That empty hole in your heart
It will tear you apart
Because hate will only divide
(Bless You)
It’s sad when you take such a beautiful thing
Blow it up and call it the news
It’s not ok still I hope that one day
You’ll find the great forever too
Livin’ my life
The way that I hope
Is leading me to
The great forever
Forever I will choose
Watch what I’m doing
Watch where I’m going
Tryin’ get to
The great forever
Forever is the truth
