A Lot Like Magic
Embracing the Magic of Life: A Musical Journey by Josh Rouse
Lyrics
Well I met a man and he gave me advice
Encountered a man who offered advice
I didn't wanted it at first, then II said alright
Initially hesitant but eventually accepted
He said, you live each day like the very last one
Advised to live each day as if it's the last
So I took that line and I wrote this song
Used the advice as inspiration for the song
He said
Reiterating the advice
It's all in the air
Life is unpredictable and magical
It's a lot like magic
Emphasizing that life is a lot like magic
We make due with the best that we have
Making the best of what is available
You sit still or you roam and
Choice to stay still or explore, accepting inevitable events
Some things bound to happen
Acknowledging that certain things are destined to occur
So I just shook his hand
Shook hands with the man, possibly accepting fate
Forgot about my plan.
Abandoned original plans influenced by the advice
So I rode my bike up to Sycamore Hill
Rode a bike to Sycamore Hill for contemplation
I thought hard, I thought long
Reflecting deeply on the proper way to live
on the right way to live
Consideration of a joyful experience with a girl
I had a lot of fun with a long legged girl
Fun with a long-legged girl
And we threw our arms round this hum drum world.
Embracing the mundane aspects of the world
It's all in the air,
Reiteration of life's unpredictable and magical nature
It's a lot, lot of magic,
Life is described as a lot of magic
We make due with the best that we have.
Making the best of available resources
You sit still or you roam and
Choice to be still or explore, anticipating inevitable events
Some things bound to happen
Acknowledging the certainty of certain occurrences
Forget about those plans
Abandoning previous plans influenced by the advice
The future's here at last
The future is embraced as it arrives
Well, the days turn to months
Time passes, children grow, but the person endures
and the months into years
Reflecting on the passage of time
My children have grown and I'm still standing here
Children have grown, and the person remains
I still live each day like the very last one
Continues to live each day as the last
I'll rise with the birds and set with the sun
Begins and ends the day with nature's rhythm
it's all in the air,
Reiteration of life's unpredictable and magical nature
It's a lot like magic
Life is described as a lot like magic
We make due with the best that we have.
Making the best of available resources
You sit still or you roam and
Choice to be still or explore, anticipating inevitable events
Some things bound to happen
Acknowledging the certainty of certain occurrences
Forget about those plans
Abandoning previous plans influenced by the advice
Forget about those plans
Final reinforcement to let go of preconceived plans
