Get To-Doing Again

[Verse 1] Nostalgic and melancholy, Thinking on days long past. Laughter around kitchen tables, Birdsongs as shadows grow long cast. Smells of fresh salty air, waves tossing in the distance, Memories made back then, Now flood back with no resistance. [Verse 2] What do they teach us? To appreciate what we have gotten. It’s all temporary — Even great memories get forgotten. It won’t make you feel better If you just sit and dwell. You’ve got to honor what you miss. And what you have today — You had better treat it well. [Chorus] Do what you need to To get through this moment you’re in. It won’t last forever — You’ll break out, or break in. Do what you need to do To remember why you do. Then fill up your cup, And get yourself up, And get back to doing again. [Verse 3] Listen to your body When it trembles, cries, or smiles — Those are clues you need To get you through these trials. Regrets won’t help if you keep feeding them, They just fester and expand. Opportunities past are sometimes lost, But a few come back again. [Verse 4] So don’t keep doing the same old things And pretending it’s okay. Time won’t stand still. It’s like gossamer, And easily floats away.
