Pilgrim's Progress

I know that everybody out there has lost somebody
And nobody is really in possession of their body
But i feel it so i gotta say
There ain't nothing like a heartbreak
Yea i feel it so i gotta say
There ain't nothing like a heartbreak
I really had to talk so i found your name and clicked send
But now you're on the phone and i'm tongue tied
Cuz i can't pretend
All i wanted to be was a troubadour
In the midst of ruthless war, reporting live from
The fore-front, shedding tears for short trunks
To help the seeds grow, I'ma make sure to get them more sun
All i wanted to do, before i said goodnight
Was to make a positive contribution to the zeitgeist
Reframe the nature of our nightlife
And rearrange the focus of these bright lights
I remember one time on a road trip
Where the southwestern mountains and their cold hits
My best friend yelled out "oh sh*t, we're in the middle of nowhere!"
And i remember thinking... this is the middle of everything...

You can spend all your time making money
But you can never spend your money making time
You can make war, or you can make love
Make art
Make the world better than it was before...

There's a reason that the word remember
Appears in the Bible way more often than the word believe
See faith it can be great but not at the expense of
What those that came before have achieved
So i just laugh, why i'm trying to make it last?
I'm trying to somehow make my future look just like my past
But i can't, so i don't, and i won't be defeated by it
Instead I'll make the most of every moment of both peace and quiet
Every party every dance and every conversation
Every morning and evening and each new revelation
Every holiday, every book and every meal
Every opportunity to change a sh*tty deal
And when i'm tired, and feel i can't do it
I'll remember that we're all going through it,
And when i'm tired, and feel like i just can't do it
I'll remind myself we all go through it

You can spend all your time making money
But you can never spend your money making time
You can make war, or you can make love
Make art
Make the world better than it was before...
