lyrics

Some days I’m the needle
Some days I’m the thread
Some days I feel I’d be better off
Stitching years together
It’s a patchwork I’m told
Keep trudging down the righteous path
Til the day I grow old

I dug out with quicksilver
turning up fools gold
Pressured for a diamond
Found a hardened heart of coal
I thought I held the hourglass
I'm just a grain of sand
Took strength from my brothers
Missed my father’s steady hands

Some days I’m the needle
Some days I’m the thread
Some days I feel I’d be better off
Stitching years together
It’s a patchwork I’m told
Keep trudging down the righteous path
Til the day I grow old

They’ll knock you down a thousand times
Time and time again
I’ve learned you gotta work and love
In the best way you can
Don’t buy the crooked politics
Of the devil and his activists
Bad actors on a power trip
Better angels looking down

Some days I’m the needle
Some days I’m the thread
Some days I feel I’d be better off
Stitching years together
It’s a patchwork I’m told
Keep trudging down the righteous path
Til the day I grow old

Some days I’m the needle
Some days I’m the thread
Some days I feel I’d be better off
