i asked a wise woman what she thought of the life she's led and she said “if you live long enough, you'll find everybody's just another love song gone bad.

and we're searching.”

i thought about me and you, him, her, anybody i've ever met

if you live long enough you'll find what makes the man is everything he never had

and we're searching for the same things

whether you're afraid or you're brave or both

looking for the truth or a lie to believe

we're searching

and if you're looking for a ray of hope, better yet –

a truth or a lie to believe

we're searching for love inside

somebody to love, a minute, a day or a life

(maybe just to sleep through the night)

i don't want to go out like someone who never tries.

a friend asked me how i walk through fire, trial and strife and i said “if you live long enough, you'll find, right here, right now, may be your best of times.”

can you sleep through the night?
