"The Shape of the Great Design" is a song written about the colorful, unpredictable experiences that I've had street performing. There's something truly magical about people coming across art in a place where they don't expect it.
lyrics
He lays down,
On a bed of cares.
Won't fade out,
Always aware.
The sights and songs,
Rights and wrongs,
How can one man,
Hold them all?
Sometimes,
He just needs a hand.
On this road,
Our paths collide.
The perfect mirror for the shape
Of the great design.
She stays out,
In search of self.
Refuse to choose,
A life from the shelf.
'Cause all the scrapes, and all the scars,
They all makes us, who we are.
But sometimes,
She just needs a friend.
On this road,
Our paths collide.
The perfect mirror for the shape
Of the great design.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-aha-ah.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-aha-ah-ah.
After all,
The way is wide.
There's surely room,
For fate's divides.
On this road,
Our paths collide.
The perfect mirror for the shape
(Of the great design)
So take your steps,
Each in their stride.
It's all pieces,
Of the shape
Of the great design.
