[Intro]
[Verse]
Did you ever stop to notice
It s when you feel a little low
That the entire spinning universe
Descends to say hello
With heavy-handed cheerfulness
And a calculated smile and says
Carry me awhile
[Chorus]
But you don t have to carry
Much of anything at all
The biggest thoughts of bigger things
Are really pretty small
The major thoughts that occupy the minor state of mind
Are what we leave behind
Just a minor thought that we can leave behind
[Verse]
Don t worry bout the future
you can t afford the price
There s madness to the method
when you pay the piper twice
once when you start to worry
Once again when you begin
to take the future on the chin
[Chorus]
I know that you think worry
is your ever-faithful friend
Cause nothin that you worry over
ever happens in the End
and there might be somethin to it
But it sure gets in the way
of fun today
What you say we try and have some fun today
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
It takes a sense of balance
on this tiny little ball
With a tiny mind still big enough
to think about it all
To realize the size of things
is just a state of mind
And you can change your mind
[Chorus]
There s a riddle in the middle
of that univeral spin
But we re out here on the edges
where it gets a little thin
So just for once permit yourself
a carefree little grin
From the outside lookin in
Cuz we re out here on the outside lookin in
And it s better on the outside lookin in
