[Verse 1] The years go through my life Like chapters in a book Some pages stained with coffee Some too dark to look Good moments at the table Others cut me like a knife Hand-me-down Sunday stories Running through my life [Chorus] I wake up every morning to a new outlook Not knowing what the day will bring Laughter Tears Joy Pain Maybe death on the hook But whatever comes I will sing Yeah Whatever comes I will sing [Verse 2] I’ve watched winters take my elders Seen spring bloom in my kids’ eyes Heard my own voice break and tremble While the old me slowly dies Songs of love and cracked-up glory Echo through this crooked spine Every scar rewrites the story Of a once-lost Changed mind [Chorus] [Bridge] Two daughters with their questions My boy with muddy shoes They drag color through my memories Paint over old blues For my family For this fragile time I breathe in what I’ve got left I’ll sing their names on the thin edge Of my last Last breath [Chorus] [Outro] Songs of love and joy For this family of mine My two daughters and my boy You’re the reason for this changed mind
