The Dust of Life

A quick fix with chic flicks every half hour,
A new do for a true you every five minutes,
And everything impossible is coming out of your microwave.
I've tried over and over, but I guess I'm just not as brave.
Because it seems that the best things
I always have to wait for.
And I practice and practice, strumming these strings,
While you take center stage of the world.

Life seems to take so long to live
And it's high school, day after day after year,
And it's practice, note after note after song,
And it's night time, fighting and fighting these fears.
Is this the life God came to make to full?

Your pop tarts and breakfast bars and abrvs.,
Your five easy steps to success,
Your five easy days, your five easy ways
To get made, to get paid, to get saved.
I'm back here in the dust of life,
In the lonely moments where I wait,
And I work and I sweat and I bleed;
It seems I've lost track of you, world.

Life seems to take so long to live
And it's high school, day after day after year,
And it's practice, note after note after song,
And it's night time, fighting and fighting these fears,
And this is the life God came to make full.
And it's high school, day after day after year,
And it's practice, note after note after song,
And it's night time, fighting and fighting these fears.
