Xavier Rudd - LIVES IN THE BOOK lyrics

I've seen so many people

Tripping on their feelings

Tripping on their times

Taking things for granted

Taken by surprise

In life we will not be stable

Until we find our hearts

Choices make us able

Two tries to stand in line

I see these things

I watch these minds

I'm speaking but I am not yet old

All the healing and stealing

Of lives in the book

And all the cancer and answers

That never got a look

And all the wholesome little notions

That narrow minds mistook

Well I am wondering

But I am not yet old

And I do not yet know a thing

Choices come at me

I won't die I won't die today

And life will remain

Choices come at me

I may die I may die today

And life will remain just the same

Or somewhere in between

An old man's mistakes

And a small boy's dreams
