Lyrics

You've got it all in the palm of your hand
You're livin' large, you got a piece of the action
But you're teetering on the edge
You could lose it with a minor infraction
You're tryin' to keep all the things that you love
You're workin' hard each and every day now
You've gotta keep a tight grip on things
Or they might start slippin' away now

You can't let things bring you down
Keep searchin' 'til you find the way
Everyone needs a little help sometimes
Keep searchin' for a brighter day
There's a lesson to be learned right here and now
It doesn't matter what they might say
You've got everything that you need
Don't let it slip away

The grass isn't greener on the other side
It just looks that way from here
The best things in life aren't things at all
They're the people that you hold dear
All the money in the world can't rectify
A shallow and lonely existence
But you can brighten up even the darkest night
You just need a little bit of persistence

There's a moral to the story and I hope we'll find
The way to live life happy and long
I hope I don't sound too presumptuous
As if I'm preaching to you with a song
That's really not the way I intend it at all
I don't have salvation to sell
If anyone learns a little bit from this
Well I could learn a little bit as well
