Story Behind The Song
I was thinking about how interesting it is to know people who have changed for the better, changed for the worse, and some who haven't changed at all.

Lyrics
WORK IN PROGRESS
We all begin our lives
Loving and caring
With any scars at all
We become less daring
And in between these times
We balance reasons and rhymes
We're a work in progress
We're a work in progress
We all start off much the same
Asking and learning
With any wisdom at all
We know our candle's burning
And in between these times
We balance reasons with rhymes
We're a work in progress
We're a work in progress
Do you ask yourself
Where did all the time go
Or do you tell yourself
I can find out what I don't know
We all come into this world
Screaming and crying
With any luck at all
We'll smile as we lay dying
And in between these times
We balance reasons and rhymes
We're a work in progress
We're all a work in progress
