Forrest of Henry Chester - Temporay Stay

Each day I rise
Wishing for the best
In this mad, mad world

I seek higher reason
Sifting truth through red and blue
As leaving all to chance
Is such a risky thing to do

Watch the river run
Flowing strong and true
Left on her own

Nature plots the course
With steady force -- not fight or flight
Smoothing jagged edges
Rolling onward through the night

Pause a moment, take a breath
Leaving one door open
Closing tightly all the rest

Little children laugh and play
They don't realize
We're on a temporary stay

And this may be the day (that changes)
This may be the day that changes everything

Have a look around
Everywhere you'll see
In these sad, sad times

All that once was solid
Seems to melt before our eyes
We can find no promise
From the words of the unwise

Stop a moment, hold your breath
Leaving one eye open
While the body lays to rest

Little children laugh and play
They don't realize
We're on a temporary stay

And this may be the day (that changes)
This may be the day that changes everything

Take it all with a hefty grain of salt
Don't lose sleep dears
This is not your fault
This is not your fault
This is not your fault

(Stay) on a temporary
(Stay) on a temporary
(Stay) on a temporary stay

Little children laugh and play
They don't realize
We're on a temporary stay

And this may be the day (that changes)
This may be the day (that changes every)
This may be the day that changes everything
