Always Been
Words and music by p.w. gopal
For my baby sister, Jen

The Christmas sun is rising
The wine glasses drying
And you’re miles away, miles away
You are not a failure
But a beautiful endeavor
But you’re miles away from seeing your face

Chorus
Try, smile – its not that you might
‘cause you’ve always been
Cry, dry you eyes – its not that you can’t
Be a wonderland…
As you’ve always been…this wonderland
There are three cars and three hearts
They’re all running on these little parts
and you can run around and pick them up
when they are too mean and too drunk
slam your steering wheel and turn it up
‘cause who of them know what’s tough
smile, pretty girl ‘cause pretty rough
is miles away – you’re a new day
Try, smile – its not that you might
‘cause you’ve always been
Cry, dry you eyes – its not that you can’t
Be a wonderland…
As you’ve always been…this wonderland
You’re a new day arriving
You’re a new song to sing
You’re a joy to our hearts
A reminder of our King (repeat)

Chorus
