lyrics
this is the year of making do
with what’s right in front of you, within your grasp
and I no longer have the audacity to ask
for things I don’t think I deserve
‘cause I’ve already exhausted my reserve
of miracles and gifts, surely they’ve run out
and I don’t want to press my luck
I’m just looking for some rain after a long drought
and it’s a hard truth to face
the modern world’s not interested much these days
in beauty or grace
cause balance sheets and bottom lines have taken their place
and I’m impressed with everyone
who somehow manages to press on
‘cause I have emptied every sleeve I have, but never found the ace
and now my tricks are almost gone
and it’s a hard truth to face
the modern world’s not interested much these days
in beauty or grace
cause balance sheets and bottom lines have taken their place
and I don’t need a golden calf
I’d just like to afford to keep doing what I love
and I’m long past needing recognition or a sign from above
at least I can finally say
I don’t think much about the past these days
the now’s enough to handle on its own
‘cause it takes all day everyday to keep rolling up that stone
and it’s a hard truth to face
the modern world’s not interested much these days
in beauty or grace
cause balance sheets and bottom lines have taken their place
