Ours is a world that changes
Evolving from day to day
The sculptor smiles down upon us
cnd cuts away the clay
In that likeness we all struggle in our passion plays
Upon the stage that is our calling
Carving away the clay

I hold my soul up to the light
I try to remove myself
It's a struggle to change to modify
What hardens all by itself
I spend each moment
Redefining in some way
The self I seek and hope to find
Carving away the clay

I pinch my fingers and produce a smile
Carve a channel for my cheek to cry
The knife cuts deepest where you never see me carving out
c new improved direction
So my soul can take on wings and fly away
Carving away the clay
