Windows

We start out dressed in pinks and blues
Behind crowded nursery room windows
First school bus ride scared to death
Teardrops fall and faces pressed on windows
How we sposed to learn to read and write
With all that livin goin on outside
Windows to the world and to the soul
To the past and down the road to where we wanna be
Windows some are open some are closed
For reasons only God would know some of us get set free
And some miss those windows
Can’t stop it once young love begins
So we sneak out and we sneak in windows
Then we stay up dreamin all night long
About just married written on windows
Who’d a thought our hearts’d get broken like they did
Like shattered glass those backyard baseballs hits
Windows to the world and to the soul
To the past and down the road to where we wanna be
Windows some are open some are closed
For reasons only God would know some of us get set free
And some miss those windows
We wish we could but we can’t go back
Some ships come in and go like that
We count amens and we count regrets
Ain’t that just life more or less
Windows some are open some are closed
For reasons only God would know some of us get set free
And some miss those windows
