My Life Lyrics
My life, it don't count for nothing
when I look at this world I feel so small
My life, it's only a season
a passing September that no one will recall
But I gave joy to my mother and I made my lover smile
and I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
and I can make it seem better for a while
My life, it's half the way traveled
and still I have not found my way out of this night
My life, it's tangled in wishes
and so many things that just never turned out right
But I gave joy to my mother and I made my lover smile
and I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
and I can make it seem better for a while
This song was played on the "Hand Maiden" and the lyrics are very appropriate for that series. For me it also speaks to life's emotional hardships and. feeling like one is so small and will never be remembered for anything important. But the writer goes on to talk about small gestures are significant--loving a parent., comforting a friend, making a lover smile. The song is sad but meaningful to me.
So so sweet and so accurate. To give happiness and comfort to those in our small circle is the greatest gift of all. No one will remember anything beyond that. But for a while, that means everything. Simply brilliant.
