I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun

how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with a sense of wonder
The simple act of being

There’s no today there’s no tomorrow
There’s only here and now
What’s past is past
No time for sorrow
I don’t know why or how

how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with a sense of wonder
The simple act of being

little things
That We all take for granted
The everyday
Is extraordinary

I’m pleased to meet you
And hope one day
That we will meet again
But if we don’t I will remember
Will you remember me

how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with a sense of wonder
The simple act of being

little things
That We all take for granted
The everyday
Is extraordinary

Good lyrics, good melody. It makes me think of two people; Eckhart Tolle for some of the lyrical concepts(Author of Power of Now) Doing is not the same as just being. Those lyrics kind of made me think of that a bit. And about the time I noticed you were from UK I could hear a John Lennon esque accent/quality to your voice. About 38 seconds. Good work anyway.
