After 43 years, Paul decided to give it another go ...
Red is from '75; blue is from '18 ...
Some folks' lives roll easy as a breeze
Drifting through the summer night
Heading for a sunny day
But most folks' lives
Oh, they stumble
Lord, they fall
Through no fault of their own
Most folks never catch their stars
And here I am, Lord
I'm knocking at your place of business
I know I ain't got no business here
But you said if I ever got so low I was busted
You could be trusted
Some folks' lives roll easy
Some folks' lives
Never roll at all
Some folks' lives
Gaze out from a window to a wall
The sunlight written in a scrawl
The gift that God intended for us all
But some folks' lives
