Matter of Time
Unveiling Life's Tapestry: Rory Lavelle's Reflective Journey
Lyrics
If I swallow this pill
If I take this pill
At the top of the hill
While at the peak of success
Will I sleep when I get to the valley
Will I find peace in the lows
If I drink from the cup
If I consume from this cup
Do you think I'll wake up
Will I regain consciousness
Just in time for the season finale
In time for the end of a series or event
Is it all based on code
Is everything determined by a code
Did it simply explode
Did it suddenly burst into existence
Or did somebody set it in motion
Or was it set in motion by someone
As I question the air
As I contemplate the atmosphere
Is it weirder out there
Is it stranger outside
Or way down in the depths of the ocean
Or deep within the ocean depths
But the stars can't compare
But the beauty of the stars cannot be compared
To the breathable air
To the life-sustaining air
Of the planet that keeps you alive
Of the planet that preserves your existence
Are we learning to cope
Are we adapting to challenges
Is this some kind of joke
Is this a form of humor
Is it all just a matter of time
Is everything just a matter of time
I remember the past
I recall moments from the past
Like the way that you laughed
Like the sound of your laughter
When I jokingly called you your highness
When I playfully called you royalty
If the moments that last
If the enduring moments are mere history
Are just things of the past
Why can't we move forward
Baby why can't we put them behind us
Why dwell on the past
A professor of love
A love expert suggests love alone isn't sufficient
Says it isn't enough
To have knowledge of religious texts
To have read all the books of the bible
Even if you've read the entire Bible
You've got so much to give
You possess abundant potential
You could probably live
You could potentially thrive
If you weren't so obsessed with survival
If not fixated on mere survival
From the oyster, the pearl
From adversity comes something precious
From the weight of the world
Under the weight of the world
Comes the diamond you find in the mine
A diamond emerges from the mine
From the oyster, the shell
From challenges, a protective barrier forms
You can use one as well
You can utilize it as well
Just make sure that you leave it behind
Ensure you leave it for others
