About a Billion

(album: Dear Finch - 2018)

Roof over my head
Got food
Got a warm bed
Got sun in the morning
It's pouring into everything
Got mountains and tall trees
Rivers and lakes and big seas
Colors that change me
The red blue yellow purple and green

Each day I'm alive I say that I'm up to the test
Each hour that I breathe I vow to be a beautiful mess
Each day that I live I try to give it up to the sky

Can't wait
I know without a doubt
Today I got about a

Billion days a billion day about a
Billion words a billion words about a
Billion ways a billion ways
About a
About a
I got a billion

Prairies and dirt roads
The promise of brand new hope
Got cabins in springtime
Got apple pie and strawberry tea
And dresses with pockets got freckles and friendship lockets
Sunday night dancing and falling into welcoming sheets

Each day I'm alive I say that I'm up to the test
Each hour that I breathe I'm proud to be a beautiful mess
Each day that I live I'm gonna give it up to the sky

Can't wait
I know without a doubt
Today I got about a

Billion days a billion days about a
Billion words a billion words about a
I got a billion
Billion ways a billion ways about a
Billion words of gratitude about a
I got a billion

Prairies and dirt roads
The promise of brand new hope
Got cabins in springtime
Got apple pie and strawberry tea
And dresses with pockets
Got freckles and friendship lockets
Sunday night dancing and falling into
Welcoming sheets

Thank you
Thank you
I gotta thank you
