about

A song for those with chronic health problems

lyrics

Moment by moment
Measure by measure
Assessing each breath
Count each endeavor
Where others are running
Our triumph is to stand

Each breath is underwater
and a struggle not to drown
Where they are floating forward
You have weights pulling down
Struggle through each wave
And try to remember land

Spend each precious drop of life
One spoonful at time

(Chorus)
You can't dance your life away
to someone else's tunes
At the end of the day
you only have so many spoons
You can’t keep running in the air
like a coyote in cartoons
At the end of the day
you only have so many spoons

Take the air for granted
Till you only have the smoke
Take the fall for funny
Till you’re not in on the joke
Take time by the handful
Feel each grain of sand

They don’t need to hoard their pennies
‘Cause they’ve never been poor
No yearning for a goal line
When they’re not keeping score
Don’t wish to be like them
Just wish they’d understand

Spend each precious drop of life
One spoonful at time

CHORUS

You only have so long
Before the well runs dry
You only have so much to give
You can’t make a path
From a map that is a lie
There is so much more to life
than just to live

CHORUS
