Cast Your Bread (Upon the Water)

Old songs and rock 'n' roll playing on the radio Waiting for the right ones to take you away And if the songs are good and the mood was right They'll take your mind on a one-way flight Off into the night where it will stay You got to cast your bread upon the water You got to cast it far away You've got to cast your bread upon the water Someday maybe maybe just some day Someday maybe maybe it'll come back to you I grew up believing in the world would change After all this time it's still the same They've tried to pull the whole thing over on you Now there's time for this and there's time for that But nobody knows just where it's at So we go on drifting day after day You can wait around all your life Or you can start setting things right Don't wait too long or the chance May pass you by You got to cast your bread upon the water You've got to cast it far away You've got to cast your bread upon the water Someday maybe maybe just someday Someday maybe maybe it'll come back to you
