7. Everyone Knows
(Heikkilä-McGowan)

How many of these 'juvenilia' songs are there??? But Jore's singing makes me smile in a happy way….as opposed to my usual cynical way. I must have been a better person when I wrote this - albeit a worse writer. Fantastic melody. --Davy

Another "Orvot Sekvenssit" melody. Great lyrics, I think they fit very well to my melody. --Jore

Everyone knows how to get there,
But nobody's been for sure,
Everyone counts for something,
No matter rich or poor.

Everyone likes to receive gifts,
But nobody understands,
The more that you give with joy
Then the more you have in your hands

Drink down the day with pleasure
Ask not the reason why
East of the sun
Lie treasures gold can't buy.

Give up the night for rapture,
Worry or care no more,
West of the moon
You'll see the eagle soar.

Early in the morning when the sun comes up
And I see the beauty all around me,
I can sense the meaning in a blade of grass
And it all seems clear

Early in the evening when the moon shines high
And I see the beauty all around me,
I can sense the meaning in the stars above
And it all seems clear
