Original Song with video: "Life's Never Perfect, But It's Good"

in #music3 years ago

This is a song I wrote shortly after moving to California. So much was (and continues to be good), but as I stood staring at the Ocean from a beautiful home I was living at, something interpersonal was nagging at me.

And I realized that, this side of heaven, it's never perfect. And if we keep looking for perfect, we will miss it all.

We miss all of life; all that's good.

Life is joy and sorrow mixed. The best way to live, as far as I can tell, is to have courage for when it's sorrowful, and to relish, remember, and be grateful for the joy.

There is peace there!

Hope you enjoy this song & the video - featuring one of my very favourite, sweet little friends in the whole world.

Lyrics:

"Life's Never Perfect, But It's Good"

So many gifts that I have carried
So many loves that I have buried, oh
So many hopeful Januarys
So many darkened Februarys, oh
I could come to so many conclusions
But this is the right refrain:
Life's never perfect, but it's good

Who hasn't felt the disappointment?
Who could say they don't know what joy is?
Things that seem divine appointments
Others ravaged by the locusts, oh
We all come to so many conclusions
But this is the right refrain:
Life's never perfect, but it's good

So many songs I've sung in my head
So much love to keep me grounded, oh
I could come to so many conlusions
But this is the right refrain:
Life's never perfect, but it's good
It's good
