I feel so far away from their reality

We each try to understand

The meaning of life

I was thinking about how much you mean to me

No words

No actions can ever suffice

Then I think how there is only one way to be

As we take a stand

and reach through the sky

It is clear

We should share the best

visions we see

We see life truly

Only through the mind’s eye

**

I feel so close to finding

a useful meaning

It helps to determine

the underlying cause

*

I can try to describe how much you mean to me

It’s just my insight

I try to get across

I aim high to describe

the best way life could be

As we dig in our roots

And reach through the sky

*

There is strength when we grow

Better visions to see

We share life truly

connecting to

the mind’s eye

**

My gut feeling

is that we’re over the top

Let’s move

with the groove again

and never stop

There’s no limit

We begin at

and there’s no limit

at the end

There’s no stopping the connection that

the mind’s eye

can perceive and sense

There’s no limit to the vision

that we

Create and extend

**

My gut feeling

is that we’re ready to rock

Let’s move

with the groove again

and never stop

There’s no limit

we begin at

and there’s no limit

at the end

There’s no dropping the connection that

the mind’s eye

can perceive and sense

There’s no limit to the vision

that we

can receive or send

**

I feel so near to a better reality

We each try to understand

The meaning of life

I was thinking about how much you mean to me

No words

No actions can ever suffice

Then I think how there is only one way to be

As we take a stand

and reach through the sky

It is clear

We should share the best

Visions we see

We see life truly

Only through the mind’s eye

***

If we fall thru the cracks

Will anyone have our backs?

On the other side

A place to hide

Or comfort to live our days?

*

Will we have any chance

Without a second glance?

To keep us in school

In the money pool

To care for us in special ways?

*

We all have feeling

Why are they stealing

Our dignity and our praise?

**

Do they think we

can find rewards in

hollow empty days?

When we bust our backs

And stay on track

but still don’t get a raise?

*

Do they think we

can be productive as we are getting hazed?

Good people are attacked

This is a fact

Where justice has no place

Blind hierarchy and business

Take over these dark days

**

Where Justice has no place

Where it is squeezed out by

Greed, the true disgrace

This is where we get attacked

Because we get no slack

We can work to the bone

And carry the world on our back

But the cards are unfairly stacked

In the favour of the higher-ups

When will it be enough?

***

I don’t always

stand out in a crowd

But sometimes I do

I can keep my head down

I’d do anything for you

Like open up and be loud

You may find it unusual

Maybe even incredible

But don’t give me grief

if you don’t believe my stories

I am not a liar

and I am not boring

I try not to exaggerate

When my words are forming

**

I can’t always say

just what I mean

I certainly try to

Sometimes I’m

stuck in a dream

I’d do anything for you

But I try not to cause a scene

You may find our time beautiful

Maybe even incredible

But don’t feel surprised 

If you can’t make sense of everything 

Tomorrow I can explain

Some more of life’s mystery

I try not to speculate

When my emotions are storming

**

It gets out of hand

When people don’t understand

And they’re so fired up

with their train of thought

that they lash out and attack

the people that are caring

while they remain unaware

they are attacking unfairly

because they are so intense on an angle

that the victim has

in fact never been sharing at all

**

I don’t always

stand up to a crowd

But sometimes I do

When it all comes around

I’d do anything for you

Like open up and be loud

You may find it confusing

Maybe even incredible

But don’t write me off

Cause you think I’m not trying

I’m honest and hard working

At times logic-defying

I try to accommodate all

As my words are performing

***

Let’s make

A quick break

We know that they

Take and take

*

We flow

They are slow

So let’s just

Go go go

*

Let’s make our move

Get with the groove

We can’t fake the blues

Let’s make the news

With kind truth

Not just for show

But for all of us

The best we can do

So everyone will know

Take it as far as we can go

**

Let’s shake

The stuff that’s fake

And find that we 

Are woke awake

*

We’re pro

With all we know

So let’s just

Go go go

*

Let’s make good moves

Find ways to soothe

There’s no way to lose

If kind days we choose

With divine truth

Not just for show

But for all of us

The best we can do

So everyone will know

There’s so much further we can go

**

They tell me exactly where to go

What to think

What’s apropos

I will insist

We should go with the flow

But angle our goals

To support the most

Should I think it’s okay

To ignore the best way?

That’s not even a choice

That’s not okay

We can’t think so

Please help clear the way

For a better day

Come on let’s go!

**

Thank you for being you

Now I’ll just be who I am

To you and I

I’m dedicated

Some folks just don’t understand

*

Say it again

Play it again

We can make it if we try

Get past hypocritical friction

A courageous connection

Launches us deep

Into the sky

Like stars reflecting in our eye

Or the sun shining bright

A mystic vision of pure light

We get through

Everything

It feels alright

The true depth is out of sight

**

Let’s make

A quick break

We know that they

Take and take

*

We flow

They are slow

So let’s just

Go go go

*

Let’s make our move

Find ways to prove

We have paid our dues

They have no excuse

To hide the truth

Its not just for show

But for all of us

The best we can do

So everyone will know

There are so many ways that

we can go

*

Rise high or sink low

Side to side

Find the time

To reach our goals

It’s all we know 

There’s so much further

that we can go

***

I don’t know whether to speak up or shut up

I guess it depends on who I ask

I don’t want to cause a problem 

But I don’t want

another one to last

Can I make a difference?

Am I making one at all?

Can I run faster with my words

Or will I be forced to crawl?

**

I don’t know whether to speak up or shut up

I guess it depends on how far I want to go

We need to solve a problem 

I think

Every one should know

Can we make a difference?

Are we making one at all?

Can we run faster with our words

Or will that cause us to fall

**

What’s the problem?

I’ll tell you

It’s as plain as day

There’s no understanding

About how to improve our lives

and too many biased people

trying to lead the way

There’s conflict for resources

There’s conflict because of emotion

There’s an inability to get along

There’s a severe lack of devotion

**

There’s a massive inability to find

a good balance in our lives

We should include ourselves 

And all others

*

Wrong-doing rooted in reality

Dwells in delusion that twists around us

with a precedence that smothers

*

How come it is not right

To by default just be nice?

It’s a curse

We fear the worst

We are immersed in a society

That we largely can’t trust

But we must

We just need safety first

No bubbles to be burst

We can be nice when it’s safe

Humanity can be nursed

Back to health

Share the wealth

We all should be well-versed

In kindness

*

Find strength in what’s right

In this universe

**

I don’t know whether to speak up or shut up

I guess it depends on who I am

I don’t see the problem

And why some folks

just don’t give a damn

Can I make a difference?

Am I making one at all?

If I run fast with these words

Will they ever hear my call?

***

Battle fields

and garden yields

You influence me

Immerse me in water and light

*

One person’s joy

another annoyed

Or worse than that

Feeling lost in unforgiving night

*

My love never dies with

Pure rain of the skies

The sun’s bold reach

Cures so much of the blues

*

The waves of life wash over me now

Course through my veins

As I work paying my dues

**

We grow with water and light

You make my entire body alive

My love for you is true

You make me feel alright

**

Ancient forms

And summer storms

You influence me

Immerse me in water and light

*

One person’s saviour

Another’s soul-taker

Or more often 

Feeling that

We always have to fight

*

My love never dies with

Clear rain of the skies

and the sun’s bold reach

Pure, not corrupt are our views

*

The waves of life wash over me now

Sink deep into my brains

And keep me

as current as the moment is new

**

We grow with water and light

You make my entire body alive

My love for you is true

You make me feel alright

*

The universe washes over me now

Events anchored with chains

Holding me fast to a world that is true

Again & again

*

We know Earth, water  and light

You make my entire body alive

My love for you is true

You make me feel alright

Time

Life

Water and the light

And plenty more than a few

***

We have to think fast

And always think clearly

So we don’t let distractions 

lull us

into any false sense

of security

*

We have to get past class

By treating people fairly

So we don’t let bad impacts 

pull us

into many tense thoughts

or full anxiety

*

One way to kick a$$

Is by being more aware

So we can be who we are

Caring is natural

Make it

Our top priority

**

Change the sign

Show that

We care more

Bend the lines

So that we are

All taken care of

*

Is it impossible to do?

More of us will make it through

if we can just

Think fast

Think clearly

Care more

**

We have to think vast thoughts

And work on thinking clearly

So we don’t let distractions 

lull us

into any false sense

of security

*

We have to get past with class

And treat people fairly

So we don’t let bad impacts 

pull anyone

into tense thoughts

or full anxiety

*

One way to surpass divisions

Is by being more aware

So we can

be who we are

Together

*

Caring is natural

Make it

Our top priority

**

Change the sign

Show that

We care more

Be more kind

So that we are

All taken care of

*

Is it impossible to do?

More of us will make it through

If we can just

Think fast

Think clearly

Care more

***

At times I focus on the big picture

yet I also need to focus on

specific details

Our view can work out fine

By design

Excelling in line

*

If we slow down

There’s no telling

It’s fine

Infinite views

How can we help them?

*

Those affected

No judgement please

Select perspectives true

Inspect beliefs

**

“Assess your actions”

They say

I’m not flirting with disaster okay?

I’m searching for kind laughter

And for more friends to stay

On a path

to better ever after

Today

*

“Hey!

Get with the program”

I say

Its the best thing to master anyway

Work to find more peace faster

To help more lives, some way

Improve more

from before to after

Big picture

Okay?

**

Those affected

Don’t forget please

Select perspectives brand new

Protect healthy beliefs

*

Pay more attention 

We say

We can find the best way

to outlast today

I am working to broadcast this

And for more friends to stay

On a path

to better ever after

This way

Through my hopeful eyes

I see the world changing

I do everything I can

for better days here

*

I look for good moves

and safe truths

Then take a risk for

me and you

*

I see more

and need more

I work for

What’s better

*

I grasp your vision

and need more of it

I watch out for our mission

Just because I love it

**

My love has a home

It’s all that I know

I strive to build it up

Wherever I roam

*

In my only place

I feel the world changing

I do everything I can

for better days here

*

I wait for good grooves

That will soothe

and try to heal more

Of me and you

*

I sense more

A friend more

I strive for

What’s better

*

I stretch out for our health

and need more of it

I embrace a shared wealth

just because I love it

**

My love has a home

It’s all that I know

I strive to build it up

Wherever I roam

*

My love is for you

in all that I do

and for me too

That’s how to make it through

**

Echo in my ears

I hear the world changing

I do everything I can

For better days here

*

I listen for good tunes

That we choose

and try to reach more

for me and you

*

I hear more

and need more

I play for

What’s better

*

I adore your sound

and need more of it

I want it all around

just because I love it

Rolling waves

In the ocean

My mind is reeling

With a notion

*

A promise made

and never broken

Now I’m holding tight

The shore approaching

*

Rolling waves

Of pain or pleasure

My mind is churning

Beyond measure

*

It all comes together

Peak or valley

We share the life

Our world arrives

**

Rolling hills

On the seaside

My mind is open

With the clear sky

*

A promise made

You never replied

Now I’m hoping

We will realize

*

Rolling hills

have pain or pleasure

Our mind can learn

New ways to measure

*

It can get better

Peak and valley

We share the life

Our world can thrive

**

Feel our days

in different ways

Measure our lives

in impact that stays

Don’t treat pleasure or pain

as deciding factors

unless they matter enough

to make a change

If so, reach out

It is our place

*

Compare

Our lives to others

But don’t exaggerate

Don’t dwell on feelings

if they’re just a phase

Make a very big deal

if there’s no need to conceal

and it enhances wellness

or helps us heal

Stay very real

About how we feel

*

I hope for us that pleasure stays

Healing saves

and pain goes away

I hope for us every day

as we roll forever with the waves

**

Rolling eyes

Our emotion

My mind is feeling

More devotion

*

A promise made

and never broken

Now I’m holding tight

The words were spoken

*

Rolling eyes

Less pain, more pleasure

My mind is seeing

To good measure

*

Envision endeavour

Peak or valley

We share the life

Our world gets bright
