We Are Always Evolving (Every Day) was written one day after writing a long letter to my sexy, gorgeous, smart, ballsy-as-hell, YOUNG niece, Amanda. You see, I had this tune stuck in my head with no words, so I went back to that letter and copied it and rhymed it up. Amanda my dear, remind me, frequently that we are always evolving, every day.
I know who you are, I’ve read your blog You’re a beautiful child, a superstar You remind me so much of me when I was your age
I don’t care what they say We are always evolving, every day
I want you to know you’re not alone You’re young, that’s a good thing. This I know. You won’t ever know everything, even when you’re my age
I don’t care what they say We are always evolving, every day
And I don’t care where you are tonight And I’m not here to help you see the light Just think this through. You know you’ll get it right Have some faith in yourself. You’ll find your way. We are always evolving every day.
Every year of your life, you’ll have a thought How you’re life’s turned out, how you’ve cast your lot How you’re not like you were, honey, in a younger age
I don’t care what they say We are always evolving, every day
Though your family and friends may pass on through The most beautiful friend you’ll have is you You’re the only thing constant even though you will age
I don’t care what they say We are always evolving, every day
And I don’t care where you are tonight And I’m not here to help you see the light Just think this through. You know you’ll get it right Have some faith in yourself. You’ll find your way. We are always evolving every day.
