18 In The Middle
G
V1
Getting bigger than my britches
I bust the seams, and tear the stitches.
I once was scrawny, now growing fat
I once was brawny, imagine that!
We like to take things to extremes
Our intense human ideas and dreams
but hear my growing pudgy riddle
“Life is best lived in the middle”
CH
I want to feel this beating so strong
with all the things to see and be that bring it all home
And keen at times the mind can see the things that be
that strive to please the Laws
amid all the things that drag it another way
Something solid for today Ya
Stuff that settles amid poles
That shine on the truth
Myth's told fountain of youth
V2
A woman plump with life so small
Much like the earth a big round ball
It speaks to me and simply shows
that life best in the middle grows
A week has seven days
There’s one for ponder, one for play
and five are left between the two
and these are the days when work that we do
<CH>
V3
Of all the stars from red to blue
our brilliant sun comes shining through
it's average commonality.
neither big or small in our galaxy.
And in its span, 10 billion years,
right at the half point life appears
on earth middle of the spheres
it's where we live love laugh shed our tears
