"there are so many, this land of plenty
the things we lack straight square within our grasp" - So true...most American's are lucky to say that they live a better life than poverty, but were always looking to get more. This line reminds me how the things we need are all around us, and inside of us...strraight square within our grasp.
"We spend our lives learning,
if you like learning, life is large
it could never be only the ups
and the downs will always come around
like a drive through Estes park you savor the sun
but when the clouds come make animals"
-- That's awesome. Probably a very crucial and overlooked quote. Basically, in order to stay positive, you need to acknowledge that you cannot have bad times without the good...and that instead of being bogged down by a cloudy day, you can have fun and make animals in your imagination. It's all in how you see it. 311 is genius for incorporating such fundamentally positive ways of thinking in an era where most lyrics are just garbage.
