I was a dreamer when I was young Lying on the grass and staring at the sky I never felt that time was moving on I thought it would stay the same for all my life Playing games under Christmas lights When the world was warm and bright But that time just seemed to fly In the blinking of an eye I was a joker when I was at school Smoking grass, laughing and getting high I never cared about nothing at all I thought it would stay the same for all my life Kissing girls under summer nights When the world was big and bright But that time just passed me by In the blinking of an eye I left home at 17 Tried to get into the music scene It wore me down like an old machine I learned how to work and forgot how to dream, oh Yeah I fell in love at 21 Down in the grass getting lost in her wide eyes Wouldn't have traded for anyone I thought it would stay the same, for all my life But I was just too young to know I let her down and let her go And that time taught me how to cry In the blinking of an eye Yeah, in the blinking of an eye I hit the road at 23 Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by Footloose and fancy free I thought it would stay the same for all my life Oh, and practice taught me how to preach I touched a world so out of reach And that time it lived and died In the blinking of an eye It all changed at 29 My boat came in and the stars aligned I watched a simple song of mine Travel the world in the blink of an eye Yeah Now I'm here at 36 Down in the grass trying to make sense of it all Maybe there's no easy fix The highest highs come with the hardest falls See the good times come and go Like the people that you know And all you can do is try For it's gone in the blink of an eye

By george perilli and michael mcdonald Child, as I look in your eyes You know my life seems like a minute There I find living proof Of all the wonder life hold in it In the past I thought I had to learn Any good that comes from this life we're living Here and now, let us realize That this life's gift and it's already been given Chorus: Someday when you stand in the middle Like it or not you're gonna look both ways You're gonna find that time is a riddle Where days turn into years And years into the blink of an eye Child, once I saw a man on the tv Lead a nation up a mountain He said, children, look over yonder The flame of truth is burning brightly Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time Only so many of us are gonna get there Here and now is all we really have But if we can make it count We got no reason to worry Chorus: You're gonna walk that mile You're gonna be in that number You're gonna make that journey Just like the good book says There's a time to be born, a time to cross over You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye

No more I quit I've had enough I wasn't made for this To all the lies that have tried To cripple me with doubt I think it's time to say goodbye I know who I am now Part of me says I'd be Smart to walk away But before I leave, I think I need To call you out by name Goodbye regret Goodbye alone Goodbye to emptiness Say hello to beautiful Goodbye afraid Goodbye ashamed Goodbye to hopelessness Say hello to beautiful Can you hear it That's the sound of me walking out Of this prison cell That I've come to know so well I used to play the victim, singing Take these chains from me But they have long been broken I was free and would not leave Somehow I got too comfortable Locked up here in this prison That I missed the doors wide open More like ripped off of its hinges Goodbye regret Goodbye alone(Goodbye) Goodbye to emptiness Say hello to beautiful(Beautiful) Goodbye afraid Goodbye ashamed Goodbye to hopelessness Say hello to beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful Before I go, just so you know There will come days again Wrestling not to believe The things you say I am When I've forgotten what's inside And who I'm meant to be I remember what's inside Has not forgotten me Goodbye regret Goodbye alone Goodbye to emptiness Say hello to beautiful Goodbye afraid Goodbye ashamed Goodbye to hopelessness Say hello to beautiful (To beautiful) Hello, hello, hello beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful Hello, hello, hello beautiful
