Tiny Life

Looking down out of this little round window

On silver wings, at 20,000 feet

At lakes and streams and fields of green

I tend to think the most peculiar things

Ribbons of highways, side roads and byways

People going all ways, always in a hurry

Gotta get there but just where from up here

I'm not sure where it's all going

And what it all means

But sometimes I think it's such a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize

All I really need is the love I have

And the love I have to give

Anything else there is, is insignificant

In this tiny life

Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays

Some days are better than some days

Can't see the sky, skyscraper's too high

Thirty-second daydream at another red light

I'm back in my hometown, on roads that we rode down

Those sights and sounds are just yesterdays now

There's deadlines, stress lines, too much on my mind

I'm getting it all but what's it all for?

Sometimes I think it's such a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize

All I really need is the love I have

And the love I have to give

Anything else there is, is insignificant

In this tiny life

It's the love we make, it's the dreams we share

The friends we find in our short time here

It's knowing God's grace, the touch of a hand

Holding a baby, calling mom and dad

It's making the most of the moments we have

And getting to live long enough to look back

On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter

That's all that really matters

In this tiny life, such a tiny life

Sometimes I think it's such a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize

All I really need is the love I have

And the love I have to give

Anything else there is, is insignificant

It doesn't matter in this tiny life
