about

When my dad died at 99 years old and I was preparing to speak at his memorial the things I remembered most were the seemingly insignificant memories not any big monumental happenings. Hence the subject for this tune. The lyrics have changed slightly since this recording was done so I've printed the updated ones below.

lyrics

Things We Do

The hardest choices that you make are never black or white
Together voices raised can change what’s wrong into what’s right
And you must look inside to see what is in front of you
Cause every answer’s in the little things we do
Cause every answer’s in the little things we do

We all are searching for some meaning in the things we choose
And hope that by some chance we find a feeling we can’t lose
And in the end your closest friends are always there for you
Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do….do-do….do-do….do-do)

What seems a curse can sometimes become opportunity
Hope it can get no worse, than all the misery we see
You reach your hand to help someone to try to make it through
Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do….do-do-do….do-do-2x)

(instrumental over verse) 4X ... (do-do….do-do-do….do-do-2x)

Will we evolve from where we’ve been and what we’re before
And learn to solve the problems of this world without more war
The paradise we had was lost where once a garden grewi
Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do….do-do….do-do….do-do)

The universe expands and grows much bigger than we are
And love is at the center like a gold and shining star
And every day that passes by can bring you something new
Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do…do-do-do…4X)
(A-Asus-A, D---) repeated and end with A
