about

The things I fear and my mantra that gets me through!

lyrics

People Do This Every Day
written New Year's Day 2022 (c) G. LaMonte

All the bridges cross that Mississippi River
Make my hands shake on the wheel
Never seems enough room for that semi rollin' past me
I hold my breath, wish I were anywhere but here

I hold my breath, but I'm not brave
I hold my breath and say
People do this every day
People do this every day
I cross that river, but I'm not brave
I cross that river and say
People do this every day
People do this every day

Cold, dark evenings, and I could use some warmth and light
My hands, they tremble, as I set that match to strike
I fear the spark that goes astray
I hold my breath, pretend that I don't fear that flame

I hold my breath, but I'm not brave
I hold my breath and say
People do this every day
People do this every day
I light that fire, but I'm not brave
I light that fire and say
People do this every day
People do this every day

Space between us seems so wide
Afraid of reachin' the other side
My heart could break and my trust ain't free
I hold my breath, wish I were anyone but me

I hold my breath, but I'm not brave
I hold my breath and say
People do this every day
People do this every day
I give my heart, but I'm not brave
I give my heart and say
People do this every day
People do this every day

Now, I ain't fearless and I ain't brave
But people do this every day
I hold my breath and I step into this mess 'cause
People do this every day
People do this every day
