Portrayed Through A Window
There he sits, staring through the frosted glass windows
Watching as the things that were, the things that are, and the things that will be
Pass serenely by
Caught in the daze he watches as life unfolds
.. ..
He sees a little boy dreaming of being a star
Standing on stage strumming his guitar
But while he feels the warmth, he no longer feels the glow
Because the boy had grown up he was no longer six years old
He will always love music, keeping it close to his heart
But he was destined for something more right from the start
.. ..
He sees the same boy, a little older now it seems
He was taller and stronger, must have been in his teens
Hes sitting at a desk, off in his own head
Not listening to the lesson, drawing doodles instead
He looks over at a girl, now caught as he slips deeper in her eyes
When the teacher yells his name and he turns away and sighs
Like a scene from a play the picture dims from light
And another place and time replace it, the teenage boy lost from sight
.. ..
Seeing a man now he'd moved away from home
He was restless now and fulfilled his need to roam
He is content now, doing what he needed to do
Living life in the moment not even having a clue
He smiles as he watches the last vision fade
watching his memories so vividly displayed
Your wondering now what about what will be?
life wouldn't be an adventure if you already knew your destiny
Watching as the things that were, the things that are, and the things that will be
Pass serenely by
Caught in the daze he watches as life unfolds
.. ..
He sees a little boy dreaming of being a star
Standing on stage strumming his guitar
But while he feels the warmth, he no longer feels the glow
Because the boy had grown up he was no longer six years old
He will always love music, keeping it close to his heart
But he was destined for something more right from the start
.. ..
He sees the same boy, a little older now it seems
He was taller and stronger, must have been in his teens
Hes sitting at a desk, off in his own head
Not listening to the lesson, drawing doodles instead
He looks over at a girl, now caught as he slips deeper in her eyes
When the teacher yells his name and he turns away and sighs
Like a scene from a play the picture dims from light
And another place and time replace it, the teenage boy lost from sight
.. ..
Seeing a man now he'd moved away from home
He was restless now and fulfilled his need to roam
He is content now, doing what he needed to do
Living life in the moment not even having a clue
He smiles as he watches the last vision fade
watching his memories so vividly displayed
Your wondering now what about what will be?
life wouldn't be an adventure if you already knew your destiny
