“Here On In”
I’m sittin’ inside wondering what to do
so I call an old friend, see how she’s gettin’ thru
its been a while since i heard her speak
she says she loves time to visit Dad a little more
learn to cook on a dime, play a little more guitar
we hang up with a vow to talk each week
i can’t help but think about the way it’s gonna be
from here on in
my neighbour’s having trouble it’s gettin’ hard to see
since they postponed his surgery
so his tenant comes down every day to read
My colleague’s got a workin’ set a wheels
he fills the trunk up with a week of meals
for the elder folks living on his street
i can’t help but think about the way it’s gonna be
from here on in
people like diamonds shining in the sun
they just don’t know what they’re capable of
a little bad luck to see them glow
kindness goes so far these days
since the world was set ablaze
i guess there’ll always be something going wrong
are we changing for the better? or is it a passing fancy?
i can’t help but wonder, just how it’s gonna be
from here on in
from here on in
