Life Lessons 歌詞
Life Lessons - George McAnthony
Was hiding from the midday sun
Sitting by a mango tree
In the highlands of Ethiopia
As an old man talked to me
I asked him what life is all about
What's the use of our struggle and pain
Some of the words he said still echo through my brain
Don't take yourself too serious
Count your blessings not your sorrows
That's what he said
The lessons I could learn at the bottom line kept me
Going through every trouble sometime
We must improve someone else's day
In order to improve our own
Our life is what our thoughts make it
Don't look back or you may turn to stone
Never ever try to be someone other than you really are
Lots of money and things may leave you with an empty heart
Don't take yourself too serious
Count your blessings not your sorrows
That's what he said
The lessons I could learn at the bottom line kept me
Going through every trouble sometime
I'm just a man a guitar guy
Sing around from town to town
I don't know much but I'd like to share the treasures I have found
Life may rather gain in quality
If it's not as you expect it to be
Just forget about you unselfishness will set you free
That's what the old man said as we were sitting by the mango tree
