to be grateful Lyrics

This is what it says

Go placidly amid

The noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons

Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others

Even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit

Raindrops on my windshield

As I drive past your home

Used to do this twice a week

Now it feels so wrong

The train tracks had me finished

Had me waiting to damn long

They remind how I feel

When I feel

It was all my fault

(Call my friends up)

They distract me

I Call my friends up

They distract me from the pain

All the torment turning in and out of my brain

I think its finally time I come down

I come down from outer space

(Got lost on the way)

(Got lost on the way)

(Got lost on the way)

(Got lost on the way)

As I wade through the river

Cold water on my feet

When the sky is breaking over

When the angels call after me

The devils in the details

(They are vexatious to the spirit)

And the details are inside of me

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter

For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself

How can I love my mom

If she can't love herself

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans

Keep interested in your own career, however humble

It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery

All the torture in the ballroom

Turning people's pain into wealth

Bloodstains on the carpet

There are tears under the floor

Her feelings on the shelf

She left not feeling any more

But let

This does not blind you to what virtue there is

Many people strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism

Be yourself

Especially do not feign affection

Neither be cynical about love

For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

It is as perennial as the grass

Take kindly the counsel of the years

Gracefully surrendering the things of youth

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from sudden misfortune

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars

You have a right to be here

And whether or not it is clear to you

No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be

And whatever your labours and aspirations

In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy

As I wade through the river

Cold water on my feet

When the sky is breaking over

When the angels call after me

The devils in the details

How can I love my mom

If she can't love herself

All the torture in the ballroom

Turning people's pain into wealth

Bloodstains on the carpet

There are tears under the floor

Her feelings on the shelf

She left not feeling any more
