Sleeping Dogs Best Left Alone

(album: Things Happen That Way - 2022)

Sometimes the life we choose
Just like a bottomless pit
Sometimes we play with dynamite
The fuse already lit
Sometimes we soar like an eagle
Try to fly like a bird
Sometimes we scream for help
Still can't be heard

What's seen is seen, what's heard is heard
What's done is done in this big old world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone

Don't try and go backwards
The hands been already dealt
Don't try and laugh at the same old jokes
Pain that's already felt

Don't try and drive with one eye closed
One tire in the ditch
Walk around with your head in the sand
Saying life ain't nothing but a bitch

What's seen is seen, and what's heard is heard
Done is done in this great big world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone

What's seen is seen, what's heard is heard
Done in this big old world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone

Sleeping dogs best left alone
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
Clean and the unclean
Planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen
Heard is heard
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
I'm planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen
What's heard is heard
