[Intro: Vocal Ad-lib] (Verse 1) I woke up chasing a plastic dream Tripped on a shadow, or so it would seem I’m running a race with no finish line Trading my soul for a nickel and dime We build up our towers of sand and of glass Watching the seasons and centuries pass But the wind blows a whistle, the tide starts to rise And the things that we chased were just dust in our eyes. (Chorus) Oh, it’s a silly life, a dizzy design A carousel spinning, a tangle of vine But when I stop running and reach for Your hand I finally feel like I’m starting to stand The noise turns to music, the chaos grows dim The deeper I’m walking, the closer to Him Yeah, it’s a silly life, a beautiful mess But in Your reflection, I find my rest. (Verse 2) I’m worried 'bout things that won’t matter by noon How loud is the crowd? Am I singing in tune? I gather up treasures that rust in the rain And try to find joy in a bottle of pain But then there’s a moment, a hush in the breeze Where I find all my answers down on my knees It’s funny how hard I was trying to fly When You were the one who was holding the sky. (Chorus) Oh, it’s a silly life, a dizzy design A carousel spinning, a tangle of vine But when I stop running and reach for Your hand I finally feel like I’m starting to stand The noise turns to music, the chaos grows dim The deeper I’m walking, the closer to Him Yeah, it’s a silly life, a beautiful mess But in Your reflection, I find my rest. (Bridge) Why do I fret over garments and bread? When You’ve counted every last hair on my head? The flowers don’t toil, and the sparrows don’t spin They just open their hearts and they let the Light in So I’ll laugh at the stumble, I’ll smile at the fall Because You’re the One who is over it all. (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Chorus) Oh, it’s a silly life, a dizzy design A carousel spinning, a tangle of vine But when I stop running and reach for Your hand I finally feel like I’m starting to stand The noise turns to music, the chaos grows dim The deeper I’m walking, the closer to Him Yeah, it’s a silly life, a beautiful mess But in Your reflection, I find my rest. (Outro) In all this silly business... I’m finally home. Just You and me, Lord. The rest is just foam. Yeah, it’s a silly life. But You are real. (Fade out)
