Falling Upward 歌词

A dragonfly landed on my friend linn's fingertip Reminding us we need to rest on this the long strange trip But also it did whisper that some change was on it's way The old world, it is crumbling and the new one starts today I played the smart professor, yes I tried it on for size I'm done with facts and figures now I hunger to be wise And I am finding some okayness deep inside this veil of tears Some call it delusion, I call it getting on in years Falling upward, the pain of youth is gone One day my plaintive morning turned into a lovely song Falling upward, each step a quiet victory I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be Head on heart each morning take my dose of daily bread And head off in the battle against these voices in my head They say I'm not worthy, that I'm too scuffed up to pray Well if there is a devil surely that is what he'd say The world's a great seductress and it wants me on it's team Best to heed the words of those that woke up from the dream So I'm reading all the holy books and this is my 40th year Rejoice, they say, have courage, be content and of good cheer Falling upward, the pain of youth is gone One day my plaintive morning turned into a lovely song Falling upward, each step a quiet victory I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be A life is very short it's true and I am left here wondering why The days they last forever and the years they sail by And the kid in me is confused about this man's face in the mirror It once was my complexion now it's my conscience I want clear I cannot fix or save the world and I know that that's alright Solutions they are coming from the left or from the right Like a great say said in Ohio Love will heal this mess! And now my contribution - loving more and speaking less Falling upward, the pain of youth is gone One day my plaintive morning turned into a lovely song Falling upward, each step a quiet victory I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be Finally inching forward toward the man I long to be Thank God I'm falling upward toward the man I long to be
