Watch the World

This is a song written in 1991, the year I graduated college. In a nutshell, I wanted to be a professional musician when I grew up. Unfortunately, by the time I decided this, I was 21 with only 2 songs written. My attitude: if I want to be a songwriter, start writing! This song was the result of that fateful thought. It is the catalyst which got me on path to being the songwriter which I am today.

"Watch the World"

A basement of years, so many adventure, learn the struggle
What you're gonna do, exploring a region, livin by instinctiveness
How will I ever get through
These things that I feel This love, this love and hate

Passionate pinnacles, emotions of doubting a friend
Or the enemy comes to hear the frustrations of reality
To the tune of a wishful fantasy

Watch the world go by, start your life now
Yesterday, tomorrow, what are you waiting for

Rhyme & reason, good & bad, friends & foes
These cycles of extremities throw all our minds out the window
Our hearts to the lions, our souls to this love, this love and hate

Watch the world go by, start your life now
Yesterday, tomorrow, what are you waiting for
Life is crazy, time's not on our side
Don't watch the world go by anymore

When you were just a kid, when you were just a man
Seeking happiness your only plan
Is living for tomorrow, while thinking of today
Never thinking of the man I have become
Always acting like the child, I'm never gone

Now you're living, true reality is all that you feel in
Your mind Your heart still takes the blame, never once realizing inside
The only constant in life is change

Watch the world go by, start your life now
Yesterday, tomorrow, what are you waiting for
Life is crazy, time's not on our side
Don't watch the world go by anymore
