Life Don't Last That Long

When I moved to California

I had a friend out there

My scarlet begonia

A Hollywood affair

I got caught up in the big wave

Riding that big blue

But my heart was beating different

I knew it wasn't you

Free, 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

'Til 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

And maybe someday I will

Oh, I will find that pearl

Find that pearl

I need something to believe in

Someone to hear my call

I tried to choose religion

Seemed to like them all

I kept reading my old scriptures

And gazing up above

Instead of being where I'm standing

And feeling that one love

Free, yeah 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 that long
