Ballad of the Everyday

Soundtrack:
Tisbury Lane by Mae
-------------------------

A song in the heart
worth far more than gold
for the everyday is slow
but the everyday is where the victory is won

We will bicker and fight
sit down in the dark
sad thoughts surrounding
but looking longingly beyond

These trying times give us hope
hope to spread to others
the darkness reveals the light
and the story to tell

Come and chat and smile a little
hear the tale of a good friend
of her triumphs and defeats
and see her adventure

Hear the piano trickle
as it mingles with the scene
for life is all music
even the everyday

One day we'll all be gone
just stories on the wall
a name to tell with a wink and a nudge
and a song to sing

Valued souls, each of us
she, you, I
we play to the tune of the everyday
with hope of day extraordinary
