lyrics

Sometimes you’re running
Sometimes you’re free
Sometimes the distance
Between you and me
Is wide like a river
In a hurry to the shore
Sometimes you’re the ocean
Sometimes you’re more
And sometimes you’re a million grains of sand
But each one feels alone

Sometimes you’re Jonah
Sometimes you’re the whale
Sometimes you’re the ocean
Sometimes you’re the gale
Sometimes you swallow
A belly full of fear
Sometimes you holler
Sometimes you hear
And sometimes you feel like jumping
But you don’t, you just hold on

Sometimes you follow
Sometimes you chase
We are all going
To the very same place
Sometimes come morning
There ain’t nothing left to say
Sometimes come darkness
Love finds a way
And sometimes you just close your eyes
And you cry, oh you cry, you cry

Sometimes you’re the ocean
Sometimes you’re the wave
Sometimes you’re crashing
Sometimes you’re brave
Sometimes you’re thankful
For all that you’ve got
Sometimes you’re graceful
And sometimes…
Sometimes you just sit and stare at your daughters
And pray they’ll be happy
They’ll be happy
We all shall be happy
