Pearl on the String - Timothy B. Schmit

Every day there’s something new

So many things we go through

We search for the perfect view

But, it’s always so hard to find

It’s all about good timing

We might see it all, or not a thing

It’s just another pearl on a string

There’s a big event tonight

And if everything goes right

I’ll be flying like a kite

Unless that wind decides to stop blowin'

What will I do then?

I might fall or I could spread my wings

It’s just another pearl on the string

I’m blinded by a light

A total lack of insight

When I think that I just might

Have to settle for what’s not special

Though I know all too well

It don’t matter in the scheme of things

It’s just another pearl on the string

You can’t always be an angel

You can’t always be smart

It is all one big lesson to be learned

If you can find it in your heart

There is bad and there is great

I’ve see crooked, I’ve seen straight

Not much love, too much hate

But the world it still keeps on turning

Again, and again

It might feel good, or you might feel a sting

But it’s just a pearl on the string

It don’t matter in the scheme of things

It’s just another pearl on the string
