Life Don't Last That Long

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
