Every day there's something new
So many things we go through
We search for the perfect view
But, it's always so hard to find
It's all about good timing
We might see it all, or not a thing
It's just another pearl on a string
There's a big event tonight
And if everything goes right
I'll be flying like a kite
Unless that wind decides to stop blowin'
What will I do then?
I might fall or I could spread my wings
It's just another pearl on the string
I'm blinded by a light
A total lack of insight
When I think that I just might
Have to settle for what's not special
Though I know all too well
It don't matter in the scheme of things
It's just another pearl on the string
You can't always be an angel
You can't always be smart
It is all one big lesson to be learned
If you can find it in your heart
There is bad and there is great
I've see crooked, I've seen straight
Not much love, too much hate
But the world it still keeps on turning
Again, and again
It might feel good, or you might feel a sting
But it's just a pearl on the string
It don't matter in the scheme of things
It's just another pearl on the string
