Late for the Sky

Pinch-hitting for the NFL-swamped M.Curnutte, a few Jackson Browne lyrics swaying in my head, from For A Dancer:

Keep a fire burning in your eye;
Pay attention to the open sky;
You never know what will be coming down.

I ran that one past my 20-year-old today, aka The Kid in the Basement

Also this:
...and somewhere between the time you arrive;
and the time you go;
may lie a reason you were alive;
but you'll never know.

For what it's worth.
