Your story is lived
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
One day you are sick
The next day you are fine
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
One day you are happy
The next day you are sad
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
Bad follows good
And good follows bad
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
At peace one day
The next day you are frantic
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
Life is full of lessons
Not all of them romantic
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
And even your mental state
Keeps shifting around
One day you are on cloud nine
Next day you come crashing down
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
Smart and clever
Stupid and dumb
Interested and alive
Bored and numb
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
Creative, reactive
Clear, confused
Connected, lonely
Upset, amused
Treading water, zooming like a rocket ship
Now one kind of person
Now completely flipped
__
Mature as an adult
Petulant as a child
Cheerful and contented one minute
The next unable to smile
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
You go from thinking you are special
To feeling like useless and nothing
It's never static
There's always something
__
Always something!
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
Yes, your story (and mine) is lived
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
And that's just the way it is
You can't escape that bind
__
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
And even though it's so weird
It's also so human, so to my mind…
__
We each must learn to accept and deal with the fact that
The fact that…
__
Our lives are lived
A page at a time
A page at a time
__
Through prayer, through meditation, through contemplation, through mindfulness
We have to accept and deal with the fact that
The fact that…
__
Our lives are lived
A page at a time
A page at a time
