Lifesteps

To the tune of Moondance – Van Morrison

V

Well it's a day and a night to go wandering
In the fields and the woods all around
It's not a time for you to be a pondering
Even when troubles for you abound

B

You-see-the swifts and the swallows up there tumble and dive
You-feel-the wind on your face it makes you feel - - - so alive

C

Go out and taste the life you waste today my son
You cannot change what has been only start what's begun

V

You see toadstools, the newts and the frogs out there
Mixed-with the birds and the trees and their leaves
You-get-to thinking why do they share the same air
There's good-and-bad no-matter what you believe

B

You-see-it's all part of the wheel that-turns-to keep you in touch
For-in-the end great or small well they both mean - - - just as much

C

Go out and burn as the world turns with life my friend
For what you do is what makes you be you in the end

(Kicking Jazz solo to polite ripples of applause…)

B

You-see-if you will just listen you'll-hear-the turn of the wheel
You'll-come-to understand that they feel just - - - how you feel

C

Run and out pray for rain today and see what life brings
For sun and breeze will follow sure as winter turns to spring

(Rallantando)

Go – out – and - burn – as – the - world - turns – for – you – my – friends

(Twiddly jazz play-out as the crowd goes wild)
