Tiny Life - Danny Gokey

Looking down out of this little round window

On silver wings at 20, 000 feet

Where lakes and streams and fields of green

I tend to think the most peculiar things

Ribbons of highways, side roads and byways

People going all ways, always in a hurry

Gotta get there, but just where, from up here

I’m not sure, where it’s all going or what it all means

But sometimes I think, it’s just a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

Is a love I had, and the love I had to give

Anything else there is — is insignificant

In this tiny life.

Waves hit the runways, some days run in to some days

And some days are better than some days

Can’t see the sky, sky scrapers too high

30 second day dream at another red light

I’m back in my hometown of roads that we rode down

Those sights and sounds are just yesterdays love

There’s deadlines and stress lines and too much on my mind

I’m getting it all, but what’s it all for

Sometimes I think, it’s just a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

Is a love I had, and the love I had to give

Cause anything else there is — is insignificant

In this tiny life.

The love we make, the dreams we share

The friends we have in our short time here

It’s knowing Gods grace, the touch of a hand

Holding a baby, calling mom and dad

It’s making the most of the moments we have

And getting to live long enough to look back

On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter

It’s all that really matters ooooh, yea, yea

Sometimes I think, it’s just a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

Is a love I had, and the love I had to give

Cause anything else there is — is insignificant

It doesn’t matter, in this tiny life.
