lyrics

I push so hard tryin’ to be the best I can
Yet I always feel I‘m running from a dogma or a plan
I really fear I’m losin’, should be gainin’ every day
I need to get it all together before the whole thing goes away
Yeah, it goes away
Yeah, goes away

I’m lucky to be livin’, breathin’, cherishin’ my life
All the friends and loved ones, nature’s beauty – this moment here is nice
Yeah, I’m cryin’ through California, wind is blowin’ through my mind
I’m patient with the struggle, can’t I just enjoy the ride?
Can you enjoy the ride?
Yeah-heh enjoy the –

Plate you got before you, God above is on your side
Or you wouldn’t be here listenin’ to the love that He provides
I’m reachin’ gently into you, I do this not to pry
It’s just that we’re all here together, you’re my brother, sister, mother, father –
You’re some kind of guy, or girl
It’s easy when you try…

Love
Love is soft and cunning as it settles in your mind
And it softens up the areas that you have yet to find
And when you’re lookin’ through your closet, it’s up to you what you design

Your life – NO, your love
Is all that you will leave behind
And when you really stop and feel it, tears are never too far behind
“Cause we’re all just blessed to be here, hug your neighbor and start to cry
Feels good
Start to cry
You love your mother, you’ll feel it for awhile

It’s important that you try and really do the best you can
‘Cause everything that happens in a master plan
And though you can’s always see it, there are moments that you can
And when you do, you want to be it

Love your brother man
Like your brother or your sister, if you can
Love is the best of man
Love is the best you can
