All The Time I Was Given | Song A Day #4309
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 2020-10-18

If you don’t mind
I’d like to take my time
I’m standing on the line right between
The hard place and the rock
The time travel and the clock 
With a bottle and sock of jelly beans

Pick any flavor you like
While I survey my life 
Shining that light in every nook
Behind the old bookcase
And all the unused space 
I’m looking every place that I can look

Before I make
Any kind of decision
I’ve got to take
All the time that I was given 

So give me a break
For goodness sake
I’m in the middle of a lake and I’ve got
A rowboat but no fish
A bulb but no light switch
And one wish to be something that I’m not

So if you’ve seen my heart
Somewhere out in the dark
Could we please just start to put it back
Oedipus and King Lear
Made choices based in fear
So I hope ydou will hear me when I tell you that



I write a song a day!
