Our Proudest Moments
Embracing Imperfections: A Melody of Life's Journey
Lyrics
In perfect stillness and quiet nights,
In a state of complete calmness and on tranquil nights,
I look out west and just see sky.
I gaze towards the western horizon and only see the sky.
Cause all my life, I've been praying for better days.
Throughout my entire life, I've been hoping for better times.
No longer young.
Not being youthful anymore.
And this song's been sung,
This particular song has been sung repeatedly in the past.
Too many times before.
It's a repetition that has occurred far too often.
And it's too late, to go back and change my ways.
It's too late now to return and alter the course of my actions.
I'll sing this song.
I'll sing this song,
A song of praise.
A song that praises,
Of days gone by and better days.
The days that have elapsed and the anticipation of better days ahead.
As I grow older,
As I continue to age,
I try to seize the day.
I endeavor to make the most of each day.
But I just seize up.
However, I only become paralyzed or unable to act.
You break down my desire.
Your presence diminishes my passion or drive.
Cause all my life I've tried so hard,
Throughout my life, I've exerted great effort
To make amends, mend my ways.
To reconcile, improve my conduct.
(x2)
(Repeated line)
You make me content with discontent.
You make me feel satisfied despite feeling dissatisfied.
You let me know that I'm not alone
You assure me that I'm not alone
And I can always rest my head on your shoulder.
And I can always find solace in you.
I shut my eyes and breathe you in.
I close my eyes and take comfort in your presence.
And just tonight I want to die.
And tonight, I feel like giving up on life.
Cause all my life, I've been praying for better days.
Throughout my entire life, I've been hoping for better days.
I need to know if I add up.
I need confirmation if I measure up or am worthy.
If I am what I'd always hoped.
If I align with what I've always aspired to be.
I feel so small as I get older.
I feel insignificant as I age.
And if we take our proudest moments
If we compare our proudest achievements
And stand them up against the rest of all our days.
Against all the other days of our lives.
Would we be satisfied?
Would we find contentment?
And could we say,
And would we affirm,
"I am so much more than the sum of all my parts"?
"I am greater than the collective of my experiences"?
