Jewel

Lyrics

The first thing I do is toss yesterday’s news
Straight into the garbage can
There’s nothing I can use from yesterday’s blues
So I start it all over again
I could get stressed by what happens next
My heartbeat would surely spike
The world is complex so it helps to project
A positive outlook on life

Life can seem empty, empty cold and cruel
But if I try to mine it, chip it out and shine it
Inside I’ll find a jewel

I work so hard, it’s my calling card
It takes up most of my day
When fun finally comes I’m a rabbit on the run
You gotta chase me to take it away
When my head and my feet beg me to sleep
I’ll lay all my burdens down
And there in my slumber I’m unencumbered
I wear all the jewels in my crown

Life can seem empty, empty cold and cruel
But if I try to mine it, chip it out and shine it
Inside I’ll find a jewel

We all need a way to make it through the day
It takes courage to face our fears
I won’t make in to heaven on just good intentions
God knows if I’m less than sincere
The first thing I do is toss yesterday’s news
Straight into the garbage can
There’s nothing I can use from yesterday’s blues
So I start it all over again
But, if I try to mine it, chip it out and shine it
Inside I’ll find a jewel
Yea, if I try to mine it, chip it out and shine it
Inside I’ll find a jewel
