Streamline - The Meaning Of Life lyrics

rate me

I met an old man today

Standing on the street

Wearing a sign that read:

“This is my last day alive”

So I stopped to ask

If in his long life,

There was anything that he regretted

And he spoke to me words I will never forget…

He said,

“I’ve lived my whole life

knowing one day I’ll die,

and that it’s alright, oh but it’s alright

And if you are wise,

You’ll take my advice

And you’ll do alright

Yes you’ll turn out fine”

Oh, he said “life is just a phase

You can only get out what’s put in

And it’s over in a blink

So why not give everything

Boy are you listening?

It won’t be repeated man,

And this is the meaning of life”

Saw an old friend today

Standing in the rain

Wearing a ring that she did not have the last time we met

So, out of concern I

Stopped to ask her why

She’d betrayed solitude

Her attribute I’d most admired

Then she spoke to me words I will never forget,

She said,

“I’ve lived my whole life

hoping one day I’d find

something beautiful that I could both share and call mine

and if you’re as blessed as I

one day you will find

Cyclicality between souls is what makes you whole

And falling in love is like an eclipse,

For it only occurs once or twice

And you could miss it if you blink,

So why not embrace it when you become faced with it

It’s so amazing man,

And this is the meaning of life”
