Daniel Rosenfarb - The Little Things

Moving on a fast train, life's going straining
Just to catch a glance, reigning in everything I left behind
To catch a glimpse, a moment — picture stars and trees, the clear blue sky
Before they pass forgotten treasures exit the corner of my eye
Life's just the same game, monopolies shout, "I'm here to stay!"
But chalkboards and candy-canes, they can all be erased
Holding onto something, nothing, in the end, what will I even gain
Thankful for the little things
The living hope of forgotten dreams
You've gotta try to catch that light
Don't let it rot from the bitter cavities of life
Grateful for what you have
Don't go somewhere else and don't look back
Stay and receive here and you will have
Say yes, believe here and you'll be full in time
Friday nights, weekends, as the subway cars go rolling by
Adventures in the city that pop-up in the nick of time
Escaping this reality, only to end up really dry
Take me to the suburbs where the ocean cleans this bleeding heart
Old friends' old names come streaming through a glass that's clean
No being smart, just who I am is who I am, no acting up to play a part
Take me to the place where I know that I can be, oh
Thankful for the little things
The living hope of forgotten dreams
You've gotta try to catch that light
Don't let it rot from the bitter cavities of life
Grateful for what you have
Don't go somewhere else and don't look back
Stay and receive here and you will have
Say yes, believe here and you'll be full in time
We are ever-growing as we're sowing
Little seeds, apart from our deeds
From the genes of something deeper inside
Our past's our past, the future blooming
Not wasting time on fear's grooming
But being still in what love really means and why
Where we're thankful for the little things
The living hope of forgotten dreams
You've gotta try to catch that light
Don't let it rot from the bitter cavities of life
Grateful for what you have
Don't go somewhere else and don't look back
Stay and receive here and you will have
Say yes, believe here and you'll be full in time
