I can’t help it

I say what’s on my mind

I say what I feel

And to me it should be said

*

They say I’m out of line

*

Their double standards protect themselves

They think that we are blind

Justice should come swift

But then they block it

Or make it hard to find

*

At least when I go off with a truth

I walk it like I talk it

Others I know of

bury the truth

In their house of lies

*

Not shocking that they lock it

**

I can’t help it

I tend to open my mind

I say what is real

Because to me

it should be said

*

They say I’m wasting my time

*

Their hypocrisy

Is sad as Hell

But they don’t seem to mind

Justice should come first

But then they mock it

And break it

with their own crooked design

**

Speak the truth

Do not abuse

Our world with hate and lies

Sure sometimes

we keep truth to ourselves

But if we have to get it out

Working to understand

is fair and wise

***

I am up and down

All around

And over the top sometimes

*

When I get down low

Effort grows

When all I can do is climb

**

Falling falling

Far from grace

But it only seems that way

to those that are greedy or blind

*

When it comes down to it

I get right through it

Because I work to be kind

*

Let us just keep that in mind

**

The very best way

to get through the day

Is to get through the day together

*

The very best way

To make our hard-earned pay

Is by helping more lives to get better

**

Many sights and sounds

All around

Are over the top sometimes

*

When our feelings show

We all know

Emotions can cross the line

**

Falling falling

Save our place

But I only fear the ways

of those that are greedy in line

*

When we get round to it

We get right through it

Because we work to be kind

*

It’s the

best plan ever designed

**

The very best way

to get through the day

Is to get through the day together

*

It is clear to me

It is plain to see

*

The very best way

To help a good life stay

is by helping more lives to get better

***

I tend to act

like nothing’s going on

But my world

is constantly booming

We tend to play it down

In the day to day

But there are so many parts

connected and moving

*

Average, maybe

In visible ways

Despite stories

that you will have to believe

So many

I know

We are outliers that flow

The truth may be hard to perceive

**

The pressure on me

Can be hard to see

But it’s the world

That keeps my words moving

Some are quite clear

Some come from

unconscious desire or fear

I aim for thoughts that are honestly soothing 

**

The world can be healing

All of our feelings

But it hurts

when we hit a bad nerve

I tried to swerve

I’m not being a jerk

With a heavy load

I don’t aim to showboat 

But in one split-second 

I do all the steering

**

Just in case

I try to save face

And try to be much more endearing 

I thought I could

See the day clearing

I hope I’m helping

Not harming

And never alarming 

and that you can

Always stand to be near me

***

No confusion

We find our way

Some way

One day

*

Time continues

We see the sign

It’s on the line

In our mind

*

We make it to the destination

It’s a place that is always there

Minutes or years we stay

Time will always change

The more it changes

The more it stays the same

*

A constant arrival

A butterfly’s new fame

**

No confusion

We find our way

Some way

One day

*

Time continues

It’s yours and mine

How we define

By design

*

Surprising symmetry

And close affinity

Brings us to our only destiny

We are drawn to each moment

*

When they pass by

Like dragonflies

We may never know they left

But it will be okay

Somehow

Some way

One day

***

Catching up to the sky

Another day above ground

If I have to die

This is where I’ll be found

*

Somewhere between

Heaven, Hell and the Earth

I will keep on working

For all it is worth

*

Playing the game

Stretching first

Then pouncing again

Like a beast

To grasp all of our needs

Until we can rest

And find some peace

**

Testing love in the sky

But still staying so grounded

When I start to fly

They are all astounded

*

Somewhere between

Heaven, Hell and the Earth

I will keep on soaring

Our true love comes first

*

Staying the same

Is not a curse

Announcing again

“We have the keys”

To connect to our needs

I hope we can rest

And find some peace

**

Falling back

No attack

We need shared integration

Get rid of the Hell

Delete the hate infestation

*

Run above ground

Fly if we can

Through cities and towns

Come up with a plan

*

Make each day better

Get past spite and fear

Work all together

To keep our paths clear

**

Blessings up in the sky

Make their way

Down to the ground

Each effort applies

Every sight every sound

*

Everywhere between

Heaven, Hell and the Earth

I will keep on rising

With a message well-versed

*

Taking the blame

Like I rehearsed

Then renouncing again

Until I am free

To fill my true needs

So that we can rest

And find some peace

***

There is an echo in my head

There is a footprint where I tread

Shadows of the clouds soon fade

Angles of the sun

Are still waiting

**

Open enterprise:

The day

Look forward

with our clear eyes

Right on the prize

Working for

More joy

Less pain

*

More feeling how we want

Less suffering in vain

**

Double down

at every chance

No better plans

Build joy

Fight unforgivable pain

Find strength and work for

More joy and

Less pain

Don’t let it strain

Can’t deny these goals

Ringing in my brain

**

Comfort from the Earth

and the moving sky

The clothes on our back

that will get us by

Work on smiles

Discussion styles

Walking for miles

The echos of our soles

The echos of our souls

Can  help us achieve our goals

**

Can’t deny the need for joy

And the need to get rid of harmful pain

Find joy in what we do in life

Eliminate pain that has no gain

Or that unfairly hurts and strains

*

I might as well say it over again

and over again

We need more joy

Less pain

*

More joy

Less pain

***

Watch the day

Watch it stay

Totally real

No matter what they say

*

There’s ghosts of dreams

however it seems

They blend at the seams

Into fast-running streams

Of vision, sound

and feelings that play

Over ditches

and over rocks

Fluid witches

And stone warlocks

You and I watch the ways

With the world’s immeasurable

Magic in play

**

Watch the day

Watch it stay

Incredibly real

No matter what they say

**

There’s rivers of dreams

However it seems

They burst at the seams

Into fast-rising steam

Of vision, sound

and feelings that play

Over kettles

and over baths

Cloudy metals

and healing paths

You and I feel the ways

with the world’s healthy, warm, breathing

magic in play

**

Watch the day

Watch it stay

Intensely real

No matter what they say

**

There’s light in dreams

However it seems

It binds at the seams

Into strong-holding beams

Of vision, sound

& feelings that play

Over mountains 

And over clouds

Never doubting

The life we’ve found

You and I grasp the ways

Of the world’s immaculate 

magic in play

***

Open our eyes

To what we can see

Open our dreams

To possibilities

Never close the door

*

Open our ears

To what we can hear

Open our heart

To science and art

If there is music

Open the door

We need some more

*

Open our love

Below and above

There’s waves at the shore

Open the door

**

We walk along the paths of life

We learn more with wide open eyes

We walk along for months and years

We love more with music to hear

*

Open our days

To music that plays

**

Open our lives

To what we can feel

Open our dreams

To progress that’s real

Never close the door

*

Open our years

To courage Not fear

Open our heart

Whenever love starts

If there is music

Open the door

We need some more

*

Open our care

Here and everywhere

There’s much more in store

Open the door

**

Open up to the sound

It is all around

There’s music at our core

Please open the door

***

Hotter than the sun

No where left to run

We make our way

through many days

While you wait for the one

*

Colder than pure ice

Nothing will suffice

We make our way

through many days

A new song may entice

**

Everyday

We make a play

Every night

We are out of sight

Love makes our life together

Much more than just alright

*

Everyday

We take sun rays

Every night

We escape the light

Love makes our life together

So much more than just alright

**

Hotter than the sun

Maybe we have won

We make our way

through many days

You are always the one

*

Colder than pure ice

Numb is sometimes nice

We make our way

through many days

We won’t give up the fight

**

Wandering under the stars

We make it so far

We embrace the sky

We can never die

When we hold each other

**

Everyday

We make a play

We make our way

Every night

We hit new heights

Love makes our life together

So much more than just alright

***

First I fall

Then I wake

Hold on tight

Won’t forsake

*

The one I love

The ones I love

Forever make the time today

*

Past

Or future

And current day

Predict what we need

Reflect how we stay

Ease ourselves into

the next new cool way

We live our best life

*

Get it on

Right now

Without delay

**

Now we fall

Times don’t change

Hold on tight

No mistake

*

The one I love

The ones I love

Forever make the time today

*

Last week

Or tomorrow

Going all the way

Search for all we need

Find all that we pay

Ease ourselves into

the next new smooth play

We live our best life

*

Get it on

Right now

Without delay

**

If I fall

When you chase

Hold on tight

Give and take

*

The one I love

The ones I love

Forever make the time today

*

There seems to be no other way

*

Ease ourselves into

the next new sure phase

We live our best life

*

Get it on

Right now

Without delay
