Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Someone once asked how God could be in a world with so much pain
Loved ones die leaving us to cry as we wave goodbye from the train
Wars, hunger, a poor night's slumber, millions of dollars to waste
Trees ripped down, suffering abounds, divorce an aftertaste
(Verse 2)
Little chap sits beside me here, watching me write this song
Heart so young and innocent, doesn't know what's going on
I stare back for a moment to see what truth is there
Space and time freeze before my eyes, no telling when or where
(Chorus)
Sitting in the laundry as dirty clothes come clean
Sprinklers shooting reclaimed water, making flowers bloom again
Autumn's death will drop the fruit that leaves a hopeful seed
All around us chaos reigns, but beauty lies within
(Verse 3)
Do we yearn and search for it, even stop to care
Will it pass us by yet another time, leaving us to despair
The choice is mine; I take my time to look into his eyes
What will I see, waiting patiently, I just might be surprised.
(Chorus)
Sitting in the laundry as dirty clothes come clean
Sprinklers shooting reclaimed water, making flowers bloom again
Autumn's death will drop the fruit that leaves a hopeful seed
All around us chaos reigns but beauty lies within
