THE PENNY

Sometimes it just takes some time
For the penny to drop.

Rivers flow down to the sea
But the sea is never full
Must be some kind of miracle
• that’s how it seems
Sun rises in the east
Goes down in the west
Tomorrow it comes back again.

Sometimes it just takes some time
For the penny to drop.

There’s no peace in getting high
No lasting joy in fortune or fame
- Though we’d all like a try, anyway
But if you chase for happiness
Just like your shadow
It keeps running away.

Sometimes it just takes some time
For the penny to drop.

Life is one big mystery
Too wonderful for me
So I should be humble
And I don’t try to understand
Just reaching out my hand
Please keep me out of trouble.

Sometimes it just takes some time
For the penny to drop.
