lyrics

It's not that I'm not happy in my
Life as it is, cuz I am and I know it's
All…a part of it all
I know I'm beyond blessed in the
Good and the bad and the chaos and madness
And things could be worse

CHORUS 1:
(so then) Why does the grass look greener
On the other side? (I should know better.)
Why is it hard for me
To just be satisfied? (why?)
Cuz I know that when I get there
The only thing green will be my envy

I've been around the block a time or twelve
And I'd like to think that I've learned, I’ve learned from it all
And in all of the learning I sometimes neglect to retrospect
That God's ... never not provided

-CHORUS-

(the only thing green will be my jealousy, when I...)
I stick my head up over the fence it looks so lush and so intense
But when I step my foot upon the grass of this so perfect lawn
The weeds begin to choke my feet,
The roses here don't smell so sweet
I spin around, I hit the ground
And suddenly I look to find
The most wonderful yard in the world....is mine. Oh yes it's mine. It's always been mine.
