Life Is Around You

by Brant Risko

I lived home in Ferrell, for life as a lad
Good days back then, the best I've ever had
Then when I turned twenty, I set off on my own
So many places to go, lots of things still unknown

South to Mikona, where I've lived now for years
To the friends I've met, I raise my glass to say cheers
The parties, the good times, life keeps rolling in
When the music stops, let's start it over again

Hey now, walk around, take a good look
Life is around you, it's not in a book
Enjoy what you've got now, have fun today
Find new worlds tomorrow, when it's a new day

I've been to Elysia, felt its warm summer breeze
The elf city Le'Or, built up high in the trees
I've been north to Deglos, to the mountains and snow
And underground tunnels, where the sun doesn't go

I've even gone north, to the city of magic
Careful getting there, one misstep can be tragic
I'll travel home soon to Ferrell, where my life began
Or maybe later instead, who needs a plan

Hey now, walk around, take a good look
Life is around you, it's not in a book
Enjoy what you've got now, have fun today
Find new worlds tomorrow, when it's a new day
