Everybody's Song but My Own

Every day I hear a melody Something tells me that my own song has yet to be Watching people live their lives Finding the sun, finding someone Wish as much as I may Each day you'll still find me playing Everybody's song but not my own Somehow the words never fit Somehow the song isn't right Although the day may be good I've learnt it ends in the night Every day I hear a melody Something tells me that my own song has yet to be Watching people live their lives Finding the sun, finding someone Wish as much as I may Each day you'll still find me playing Everybody's song but not my own So many roads still to take So many tears to be shed So many plans to be made Such unsung songs in my head All I hear is like a memory Life intended for someone else, but not for me Sounds and voices from the past Quiet and slow, tender and low Though the sadness may sting There's music that I'll be singing Everybody's song but not my own
