Bigger Prize
“Bigger Prize”
Some days, all I need is a little grace,
All I want is a little space, to feel like I’m here
Like this place I’m living in is real
Like this body I’m cast in is mine
And like the grass just might be greener on the other side,
Oh some days
I find I’m often looking for the easy way
Cut the corners and rush through life
Make a rolling stop at all the signs
But I’ve heard there’s a smaller door,
With a bigger prize,
A brighter sunset, but a harder climb,
Who wants easy anyway
One of these days, I’m going to slow it down
I’ll pay attention to what’s around me
I’ll look up, instead of always looking down
I know I might not get all that far
But at least I’ll start to see things as they truly are
Oh, One of these days
CHORUS
Who wants easy anyway
Today, I’m going to sit in my skin
I’m going to take it all in,
Soak up the sunshine, even on those partly cloudy days
I’m gonna slow dance in the hallway
And stop to smell the roses even when I can’t stay… today
CHORUS
