Work in Progress

Work in Progress You’re working hard so as to keep Dm A7 Dm A roof over your head Dm A7 Dm Wiped out you still cannot sleep Dm A7 Dm Toss and turn in bed Dm A7 Dm You yearn for better days to come F C Dream of owning your own home Dm A When gardening you prepare the ground Dm A7 Dm Growing trees and seed Dm A7 Dm Leaves and flowers will abound Dm A7 Dm Watering as you weed Dm A7 Dm You cannot harvest, eat the fruit F C Before it’s ripe, it won’t taste good Dm A Chorus: The way you live decides Dm How life unfolds, how you grow old Dm C7 Dm Where your destiny guides A Dm Your story’s altered as it’s told A7 Dm Character’s not set in stone Dm A7 Dm You grow and you adapt Dm A7 Dm It’s not about you on your own Dm A7 Dm You thrive as you connect Dm A7 Dm When things go wrong, change the mix F C Solve the problems you can fix Dm A Your life is like a work of art Dm A7 Dm Shape the form it takes Dm A7 Dm Make your decisions from the heart Dm A7 Dm Your future is at stake Dm A7 Dm Weave, unpick, reweave, retrieve F C Visions take time to achieve Dm A Chorus The more you learn and understand Dm A7 Dm The better it works out Dm A7 Dm If you are going around the bend Dm A7 Dm There can’t be any doubt Dm A7 Dm You are burnt out: relent my friend F C Let life guide you till the end Dm A Lyrics and Vocals Emmy van Deurzen Music old Dutch folk song Keyboard and production Mike Sandeman NBR.
