If Everyone Discovered What Truly Mattered
Van Ronk sang of that ace in the hole
Though it didn't get much help from the river
Tina Louise unhappy in her role
She never wanted to be remembered as simply Ginger
All of us, we strive
Hoping everyday to feel alive
Hoping everyday
For a smile
A kind word
A thoughtful gesture
A beautiful bouquet
Something worthwhile
An unexpected reward
Long-forgotten treasure
Heartfelt praise
To be in style
To be heard
Above the pressure
Turn off that television set
Walk with your family through the neighborhood
Say hello to the old widowed woman
Play some catch with the kids
Your life
Will never be
A life
Until you make it
One
Demand more
From
Yourself
