Lyrics of I Realized

Humming birds and butterflies.
How quickly they fly by
What a sight to see,
When suddenly I realized
how much the little things
have always meant to me

The moments are so fleeting
They fly away too fast
Seize and enjoy them
In a heart beat they will have past

The golden rays of light
That survived the stormy night
Now shining through the trees
The world that surrounds us
The joy that has found us
My friends all surrounding me

One thing that isn't funny
our archaic lust for money
And how the hunger never ends
At the end of the day
I can count the dollars I've been paid
I would rather be counting all of my friends

Now there will always come a day
When you just want to say
Good grief good Lord I quit I quit I quit
Ask yourself...What has this day brought you?
And what has this day taught you?
And what have you put back into it?

When suddenly a butterfly flew by
Followed by a humming bird
I realized it's up to me
I've got to spread the word

Those precious fleeting moments
No shadows do they cast
Store the memory forever in your mind
Before the moment becomes the past
