lyrics

I wonder if our lives were written down
If every day we lives were read aloud
What choices we would make
What risks we would or wouldn’t take

If our lives were written down
I wonder if we’d loose our boundaries
Would money lose it’s grip of slavery
Somehow the poorest days I’ve known
I was living blissfully
Oh so money you can’t have your hold on me

I know that I could quit my job
And just follow the voice of God
He always knows where I need to go

Like I did back in the days I lived in Cali-for-ni-a
I was bitter broke
But a happy man

We don’t always see it coming
Life is only but a flash
We know you’ve got to live for something
If you’re gonna make it last

I’m not one to judge the layman
Or condemn the nine to five
We just have to pay attention
To make sure we’re still alive

I wonder if our lives were written down
If every day we lives were read aloud
What choices we would make
What risks we would or wouldn’t take
If our lives were written down

What kind of person would you be
Would you write a better story
