Lyrics Bright Side of Down - John Gorka

Time takes almost everything
Me and time will take my time
I look around for things to bring
To ease the way down the uphill climb

On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around

They say that time is slowed by speed
But really that's not the way it seems
Maybe the key is thoughtful words and deeds
To open up the voices of your dreams

On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around

There are a few things we can pass along
And maybe that will be enough
Half the distance to the beautiful
With some of the many ways to love

On the bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
The bright side of down
This side of the ground
Long way around and around

I've got to live a long, long time
For eyes that light up everything they see
Can't check out early like those friends of mine
The faster you go the less you need

The bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
The bright side of down
This side of the ground
It's a long way around and around
