Sean Baker's Recycled Stardust - Nothing New

The sun couldn't care less
About your day
It saw your birth and you better bet
It'll see your grave
It knew my father's face
When he was a man of my age
And his father's, father's, father's, father all the same
The same old moon
In the same old sky
Those same damn stars I've seen
For my whole life
When I was young I used to think
That they were all mine to wish upon
But now I'm old and I know
Wishing is a waste of
Time to get my shit together
No more living life just like, whatever
I'll live and learn and love and dream and cry
And laugh and touch and sing and take
The life I have and try and make it better
Everything that's been
Is what will always be
I have no control
Over anyone but me
Yes, I know I'm slow to learn
How to use this machine
But I might get the hang of it
If I keep pounding down on these strings
Everything's been done before
Even this very song
Nothing new is original
But I still hope you sing along
Maybe you'll feel right at home
Like somehow you just belong
Divided fractions of a whole
But everybody knows how it goes that the wolf is
Stronger with the pack together
Let's sing out loud so we can all remember
To live and learn and love and dream and cry
And laugh and touch and sing and take
The lives we have and try and make them better
Keep on shining bright despite the weather
Feed your flame and fuel every ember
Cause there's nothing new under that same old sun
It'll melt your heart till it boils your blood
And keeps burning on from now until
Forever
And ever
And ever
And ever
And that's why
Each day we have left
Is something
To be treasured
Whatever life you lead
Has potential
To be better
So let's watch the sun set
As our shadows blend together
And now spread your own light
And go bask in all your
Splendor
