lyrics

I just wanted a record
That I lived, I loved and I laughed
I just wanted a testament
That I walked a broad, expansive path

I just wanted a book
With the chapters the years of my life
Reading I sang and I cried and spoke
Of wisdom, of strength, of delight

I just wanted a document
That told the story of who I was
Maybe a small monument
That marked the road down which I trudged

I just wanted a book
With the chapters the years of my life
Reading I sang and I cried and spoke
Of wisdom, of strength, of delight

I just wanted an archive
Of the pain and the promise I knew
A remembrance for posterity
To distinguish the wrong from the true

Or a rock by the river I carved with a chisel
The story of how life was to me
With a cold stone unturned neither painted nor burned
Only moss could cover the reed

I just wanted a time capsule
Where a hundred years hence
They'd open it up and see that with pluck
The beauty on which my life had been spent

Or a rock by the river I carved with a chisel
The story of how life was to me
With a cold stone unturned neither painted nor burned
Only moss could cover the reed
