Beautiful Racket |
| So your day begins like this |
| Wondering what might have been |
| Old regrets and chances missed |
| Borne away on some lambent wind |
| The job’s okay, so it doesn’t inspire |
| Thoughts of leaving it all behind |
| You used to have dreams of setting the world on fire |
| All you want now is peace of mind |
| And a beautiful racket and whispers and roars |
| The bitter and sweet between the truces and the wars |
| The noise and the quiet, the courage and the fear |
| And all of the wisdom between a smile and a tear |
| Do your dreaming in traffic jams |
| You do your running in shopping malls |
| You do your breathing the best you can |
| Between car pools and cell phone calls |
| Who cares, you’ll never live in Paris |
| So what, you’ll never travel by Lear |
| How do some of us learn what matters |
| While others never get to hear |
| And a beautiful racket and whispers and roars |
| The bitter and sweet between the truces and the wars |
| The noise and the quiet, the courage and the fear |
| And all of the wisdom between a smile and a tear |
| So your day will end like this |
| Turning slowly down your street |
| Silent worlds of kitchens lit |
| Front yards full of fallen leaves |
| Trees are bare, the garden’s done |
| Another season gone to earth |
| Before you blink a new one comes |
| Reminding you what the old one’s worth |
| And a beautiful racket and whispers and roars |
| The bitter and sweet between the truces and the wars |
| The noise and the quiet, the courage and the fear |
| And all of the wisdom between a smile and a tear |
| Such a beautiful racket |
| Such a beautiful racket, hold on |
| Such a beautiful racket, hold on |
