Pearl on the String Songtext
von 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 'bout 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?
Well, 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 seen 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
