Lyrics Kumbaya, Life Rolls On - Brett Dennen

Kumbaya, Life Rolls On

«Every day I feel a little bit smaller
Yet everyday I get a little bit larger»
Said the man to himself
Stepping off a scale, stepping on a shelf
Stepping on a train going home to his wife
Put him at a desk, it’s the rest of his life
He says, «How'd I get talked into this?
What’d I miss?
I wanna make a fast break»
«Look at my life I’m a lot like you
If I’m a shine then you’ll shine too
I am as common as a breakup or a blade of grass»
Fighters on the TV shaking hands when the fight is done
Say, «Kumbaya, life rolls on»
Life rolls on
If you got room for friends, I know somone who could use one
Kumbaya, lif rolls on
Life rolls on
He says, «I can’t complain my life is simple
A pencil never reaches its full potential
It always gets tossed when it gets short
I used to dream about joining the Peace Corps
Somewhere in a hot, hot jungle
Where I sleep in a hammock and bathe in a waterfall
Now I look at my phone all day
Say, 'Hey who’s that cat?
'»
