You have the chance to have something good in your life A spice rack of excitement If you’d only turn away from the grill Open the jar with the dusty lid And sprinkle a little of its contents over the life you have now You may awaken a taste that takes you on a journey You may replace the lid, put the jar back in its place on the rack and never use it again But once in s while, when you reach for the same old plate to put your cheese sandwich in You’ll look up and see the jar And remember the taste of that journey you took.

You have the chance
You have the chance to have something good in your life A spice rack of excitement If you’d only turn away from the grill Open the jar with the dusty lid And sprinkle a little of its contents over the life you have now You may awaken a taste that takes you on a journey You may replace the lid, put the jar back in its place on the rack and never use it again But once in s while, when you reach for the same old plate to put your cheese sandwich in You’ll look up and see the jar And remember the taste of that journey you took.
