Lyrics
Life always dumps something in your lap
Life presents challenges unexpectedly.
You're constantly busy redrawing your map
Constantly adapting to life's changes.
You leave behind a fading trail
Leaving behind a fading legacy of experiences.
Of images and words that you hope will prevail
Creating memories and hoping they endure.
Life always dumps something in your way
Life introduces obstacles in your path.
You try to make the best of it everyday
Striving to make the best of each day.
You could give up and give in but you prefer
Opting to remain hopeful despite challenges.
To keep hoping some kind of change might occur
Persevering, anticipating positive change.
Just hoping some kind of change might occur
Continuing to hope for positive change.
Misery sure loves company
Misery loves company; people may not be what they seem.
And nobody's ever who they seem to be
Highlighting the deceptive nature of individuals.
The daily horror of people at their worst
Expressing the daily challenges and negativity.
And most selfish, one day, your bubble will burst
Warning about the eventual burst of personal illusions.
So much time should not have passed
Reflecting on the passage of time.
At least not that way and not so fast
Regretting the speed and direction of time.
It wasn't always easy, it wasn't always fun
Acknowledging life's difficulty but finding it worthwhile.
But it was always worth it, regrets I have none
Emphasizing the enduring value of life experiences.
It was always worth it, regrets I have none
Reiterating the worthiness of life's journey.
Life always dumps something so you should try.
Encouraging acknowledgment of life's challenges.
To acknowledge the fact you're surrounded by
Awareness of being surrounded by remnants of the past.
These relics of a life that no longer exists
Noticing remnants of a bygone life.
Your name still appears on the waiting lists
Recognition that your past still influences your present.
Life always dumps something that makes things worse
Life introduces challenges that exacerbate situations.
There are no rules in this self-help universe
No fixed guidelines in the self-help journey.
It's never what you were expecting to find.
Unexpected outcomes in the pursuit of self-improvement.
There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind.
Anticipation of difficulties both in the present and future.
There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind.
Reiteration of the presence of challenges in past and future.
There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind.
Emphasis on the prevalence of challenges.
