Lyrics

Another Day

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.

This world is made with sweat and toil, pushing muscle and elbow oil

We can't lie too long in the shade, cause every day must be remade

Some days you fall some days you fly, but in the end we all must die

Our rotting flesh and broken bone will feed the ground that we call home

But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree, my sons will go on after me

So lift your heart and dry your eye, it's another day to live and die

I've run naked in the wild, seen the beauty of a newborn child

Like the alchemists of old, I've tried to spin my straw to gold

Most times a giver, sometimes a thief, so full of hope but prone to grief

Between freedom and despair, I know that truth is lying there

I've seen the truth, it's lying there

And a new sprout grows from a fallen tree, this world will go on after me

So lift your heart and dry your eye, it's another day to live and die

So go on now, don't you worry 'bout me, you've miles to go and a world to see

My life's been long and full and good, I've run this race the best I could

It's a short time here and long apart,

But the same song rings in both our hearts

So take my guitar when I'm gone, write your own rhymes, then pass it on

Just take your hit and then pass it on

Let a new sprout grow from a fallen tree, this song will go on after me

So lift your heart and dry your eye, it's another day to live and die

It's another day to live and die, just another day
