Lyrics The Great Art of Living - Jay Ray

The Great Art of Living

From the cradle to the grave, to the end of days
We all should dance while it lasts
Don’t wait for another chance
It’s written in the stars, in the stones, in our scars
The notes of life are running out of time
By leaving all behind
That’s something to keep in mind
Nothing is waterproof
Our dreams, hopes and free will
Deaf, dumb and blind and sanity’s out of sight
But still it flows within
Nothing is fireproof
Our flesh, papers and the truth
It’s true what they say
It’s incorporated in our DNA
Small things make what we see
As the essence of every human being
Break it down
It’s written in the stars, in the stones, in our scars
No matter what you’re taking part
In a wonderful piece of art
(Piece of art)
It dwells deep beneath
The basic instinct that keeps us alive
No need to believe in
No faith is required to survive
There is nothing left to say
Only the music can take the breath away
Difference between you and me
It is the greatest art of living
In perfect harmony from minor to major key
By using the whole range of scale
The notes of life will be then rearranged
It’s written in the stars, in the stones, in our scars
No matter what you’re taking part
In a wonderful piece of art
(Piece of art)
It dwells deep beneath
The basic instinct that keeps us alive
No need to believe in
No faith is required to survive
Nothing is fireproof
Our flesh, papers and the truth
Even the stars are already set to burn
Nothing is waterproof
Our dreams, hopes and free will
They drown as the tide turns and closes in
Nothing is fireproof
Our flesh, papers and the truth
Even the stars are already set to burn
Nothing is waterproof
Our dreams, hopes and free will
They drown as the tide turns and closes in
It’s written in the stars, in the stones, in our scars
No matter what you’re taking part
In a wonderful piece of art
(Piece of art)
It dwells deep beneath
The basic instinct that keeps us alive
No need to believe in
No faith is required to survive
Survive!
