As It Should Be

Snow Leopard Baritone Guitar

Lyrics

  • As It Should Be

    GROWING SIDE BY SIDE
WITH NO FEAR OF WHO IS STANDING NEAR
OUR ROOTS ARE INTERTWINED WHAT’S YOURS IS MINE
WE'RE ALL JUST REACHING FOR THE STARS
    AND ONE THEY NAMED SOL THE SUN
ON THIS EARTH WE ALL DRAW OUR LIFE FROM
SHE SEES US ALL BELOW AS ONE BOUNDARIES NONE
LIFE AND LIGHT FOR ALL
    WE COULD TAKE A LESSON FROM THE TREES
WE COULD TAKE DIRECTION FROM THE BREEZE
WE COULD TAKE A MOMENT TO SEE
EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE
    CHANGING POISON INTO AIR
GROWING BRANCHES WHERE WE LOOSE ALL OUR CARES
LIVING LONG GOING NOWHERE WATCHING AS
THE WORLD PASSES BY
    AND THOUGH THIS OLD POPLAR FELL
IT’S LIVING ON WITH A SONG TO TELL
SO CAN WE MAKE HARMONY FROM THE PEOPLE
FALLING NEEDLESSLY
    Chorus
    AND AS THE MOON RISES HIGH
AND CASTS THE SHADOW OF A LEAF ON MY EYE
I KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND
THE MYSTERY IN A SIGH
    Chorus

Michael Monroe
