“When will we know everything for sure?” is the question I asked myself when writing this heartfelt, contemplative song. It brings to life the unnecessary anxiousness and pressure to have answers, to have an opinion, to have it all figured out; it questions the helpfulness of those all-or-nothing, snap judgments that we seem to think we need to
“When will we know everything for sure?” is the question I asked myself when writing this heartfelt, contemplative song. It brings to life the unnecessary anxiousness and pressure to have answers, to have an opinion, to have it all figured out; it questions the helpfulness of those all-or-nothing, snap judgments that we seem to think we need to have. If we could all learn to live with a little more "maybe," then we'd have a greater sense of wonder in our lives.
"Maybe" Lyrics:
How to start out, where do we go When to hold on, when to let go From the moments we remember, the years that we’ll forget I’ve got a feeling that we haven’t found it yet
(but) Maybe, maybe when we’re older, maybe when we’re Wiser, maybe when we’re braver, bolder, better, nicer Maybe, maybe when we’re older, bigger, broader shouldered Maybe someday baby, maybe when we’re older
When will we make time, learn to forgive Learn to let die, learn to let live There might come a time we have the mind to try again Someday when we’re better if only we could see us then...
(we’d say) Maybe, maybe when we’re older, maybe when we’re Wiser, maybe when we’re braver, bolder, better, nicer Maybe, maybe when we’re older, bigger, broader shouldered Maybe someday baby, maybe when we’re older
When to hold out, when to let breathe When should we break down, when to believe
What if down the road, we prove that we’ve been wrong Wouldn’t that be something, oh I hope to God we live that long
(we’d say) Maybe, maybe when we’re older, maybe when we’re Wiser, maybe when we’re braver, bolder, better, nicer Maybe, baby when we’re older, bigger, broader shouldered Maybe someday baby, maybe, maybe, maybe when we’re older
Maybe then... Maybe when... Maybe then...
Maybe, maybe when we’re older, maybe when we’re Wiser, maybe when we’re braver, bolder, better, nicer Maybe, baby when we’re older, bigger, broader shouldered Maybe someday baby, maybe when
