Kumbaya, Life Rolls On - Brett Dennen

«Every day I feel a little bit smaller

Yet everyday I get a little bit larger»

Said the man to himself

Stepping off a scale, stepping on a shelf

Stepping on a train going home to his wife

Put him at a desk, it’s the rest of his life

He says, «How'd I get talked into this?

What’d I miss?

I wanna make a fast break»

«Look at my life I’m a lot like you

If I’m a shine then you’ll shine too

I am as common as a breakup or a blade of grass»

Fighters on the TV shaking hands when the fight is done

Say, «Kumbaya, life rolls on»

Life rolls on

If you got room for friends, I know somone who could use one

Kumbaya, lif rolls on

Life rolls on

He says, «I can’t complain my life is simple

A pencil never reaches its full potential

It always gets tossed when it gets short

I used to dream about joining the Peace Corps

Somewhere in a hot, hot jungle

Where I sleep in a hammock and bathe in a waterfall

Now I look at my phone all day

Say, 'Hey who’s that cat?
