What We Don't
(Jody Gnant)
~~~~~
Wasn't it yesterday?
I can hardly remember it now
Compelling, yes - but there is no way
There is no space in the window
The walls have been built
The foundation laid and there's
No going back
To try to pay
I'm filling up my tank with fate
This time I won't be late
And I'll learn
From yesterday
It's not what we do
It's What We Don't
It's if we take the time
To fix what's broke
And if we know
When to let things be
I was blind to judge
It's not up to me
Content with working on myself
It's the only cheese I need to chase
And 's not easy to take off the shelf
The very things that held you back from the rat race
And learn from yesterday
And learn from yourself
And learn from total strangers
And you will find what you're looking for
Wasn't it yesterday that I learned the golden rule?
What held me back from putting it in effect?
It's not
What we say
Talk is cheap
It's not what we say we're going to do
Actions are the ones who speak
It's not what we do
It's What We Don't
It's if we say we will
And then decide we won't
And where the heart is resisting
And the soul is crying
To pick up the slack
And bring this baby back
Just to let ourselves know
That we're trying to crack
The case that keeps us trying
To pick up the slack
And bring this baby back
Just to let ourselves know
That we're trying to crack
The case that keeps us trying
The case that keeps us trying
