when i moved to california
i had a friend out there
my scarlet begonia
hollywood affair
i got caught up in the big wave
riding that big wheel
but my heart was beating different
i knew it wasn't you
yeah you're on a path and you tell yourself
you need to just keep on moving
even if you hurt someone
life don't last that long
i stayed high up in the mountains
but i couldn't find my rest
i drank heavy from that fountain
till i couldn't feel my chest
so many people so much chatter
but nothing to fit my goals
need lightness in my body
and colors to show my soul free
yeah you're on a path and you tell yourself
you need to just keep on moving
and find where you belong
life don't last that long
still looking for a wiser man
to reign this world
maybe someday i will
oh i will find that pearl
hmm
find that bird
i need something to believe in someone to hear my call
i try to choose religion
seem to like them all
i can't read my old scriptures and gazing up above
instead of being where i'm standing
and feeling that one love free
you're on a path and you tell yourself
you need to just keep on moving
even when your faith is gone
life don't last that long
life don't last alone
