This is a day

That I make my way and

Get ahead in life

*

No wasted time

No wicked crime

No twisting of a knife

*

No attack at our back

Check your tensions at the door

We are going to tackle this one

Like a sand castle on the shore

*

Wave goodbye to yesterday

But never forget tomorrow

As we enter today’s house

Only time

we have to borrow

**

Is it okay

That I’ve made my way and

I still haven’t died?

*

Believe the hype

Nothing to hide

That’s why I’ve found my stride

*

Their trash talk

Like a rock

Left me dying on the floor

I found a way to climb back up

With passion burning at my core

*

Wave goodbye to yesterday

But you can’t forget tomorrow

As we enter today’s house

New times can help our core grow

**

We make our way in life

Find ways to get ahead

Don’t let times bring you down

Find ways to stay up instead

*

We make our way in life

True love is never dead

Good feelings come around

Be careful where you tread

**

This is the day

That I make my way and

Get ahead in life

*

No delayed time

Each moment’s prime

To get past stress and strife

*

No more flack

We’re not off track

It’s what we’ve got in store

We’re ready and

Buckled up now

Flying faster than before

***

I’m just your common shaman

Now I summon the skies

Always connected to the Earth

I writhe with the tides

*

I feel for the life

And heal who comes to me first

I look into your eyes

Every moment mind’s rebirth

*

I imagine every challenge

And every issue we have with each other

If you join me we will find

New worlds to discover

**

I’m just your common shaman

Roots reach to ancient times

Branches connect to the future

To find something sublime

*

I feel for the life

And aim to heal with my verse

Look through me

with your eyes

There is no world to curse

*

We imagine all the damage

And find reasons to battle with each other

When we feel free

we can find

New worlds to discover

**

We can solve mysteries

When we share our perspectives

The truth we need to see

Is most purely objective

We can achieve shared health

If we believe

We can achieve

Together

*

If we believe

we can achieve together

we will find a way

To save the day

Or start to make it better

If we believe we can achieve

Together

We will stay strong

We can’t be wrong

We have a chance forever

**

I’m just your common shaman

Wide open to the night 

I work to connect to the cure

Shining far past sunrise

*

I feel for the life

Work to heal all of the Earth

Let’s look through all our eyes

In one shared view

Immerse

*

Let’s imagine the next passage

Work to provide

Way more care for each other

If we make peace we will find

New worlds to discover

**

If we believe

we can achieve

Together

We will find a way

To save the day

Or start to make it better

If we believe we can achieve

Together

It won’t be long

Before we’re strong

We have a chance forever

***

I will face the world

Like I did yesterday

And for all of my time before that

*

I will face life until the end comes

And when it gets replaced again

I will charge into

the quiet moments

Or the drone of the factory

I will stand up for all of the good things

And reason until we are free

For all our world and me

**

I will face the world

Like I do every day

And for all of the time they attack

*

I will face life

while the guitar strums

We won’t get phased

again

I will charge into

the quiet moments

Or the rock of the liberty

I will stand up for all of the good things

And reason until we are free

For all our world and me

**

Our goals are iron-clad

Hard-as-steel looks

as if we’re bad

Then we float away

Light as a feather

Or a cloud in the sky

Now bringing a storm…

*

They create a normal

They call it the truth

Let’s sit down

And talk about

why we’re confused

**

Does it look like we are stupid?

Because we are not

Stop acting like you know better

With culture that’s store-bought

We all experience life

But you cut our angles out

Just because you have more clout

But you only got that

By the chance of your route

Some work hard

Smart and strong

Those who choose to get along

**

Realize we all deserve chances

You got yours

Fair is fair

Until you hide the truth

and make rules

like there’s no love to spare

Your abuse

Is tight as a noose

While greed spreads lies

We all face the world

What about you?

Have you got ears and eyes?

*

And lips to speak kind words?

And share strategies for success?

To reason with other perspectives? 

To find out what is best?

*

I see a child fighting for a toy

Yet he will always have a

Full toy box

The child he is fighting has

Much less

Besides broken branches

dead leaves & rocks

*

Greed and entitlement

drive us to fight

for stuff that’s meaningless

That chest will never be empty

While together our souls are best

We could all learn a lesson

if we would all confess

Get right down to the root of the matter

A Simple effort

affects all of the rest

*

Then I see a child fighting for a meal

His whole life

he has had to steal

The rest of the world punishes

this and that

But how else can a child survive?

With no money?

While others get fat?

Too big a problem?

Forget them all?

Our world and spirit

Are also small

We remain together for the long haul

So let’s face the world

One soul calls

**

I will face the world

Like there is no other day

And for all of the time we should have

*

I will face life to the beat of the drums

And when the rhythm stays again

I will charge into

the quiet moments

Or find peace for the sanctuary

I will stand up for all of the good things

And reason to keep us free

For all our world and me

***

How do you feel?

Are you for real?

Did you really just do that?

I’m impressed

I must confess

I can’t believe you knew that

*

You are out of this world

You are hitting new heights

You surprise me every time

The more we are together

The more I want you forever

You make me feel so fine

**

I’ve been thinking these thoughts all along

You are really special

*

When the world gets busy

It’s our time together

That always stays most precious

**

How do I feel?

Am I for real?

Did I really just do that?

I passed the test

You must confess

Can you believe I knew that?

*

I do it for you

It is so true that

You are out of this world

You are hitting new heights

You make it work every time

The more we are together

The more I want you forever

You make me feel so fine

**

I’ve been thinking these thoughts all along

You really are a star

*

When life brings us down

It’s our time together

That turns our world back around

**

How does it feel?

Now that we are real?

Did we really just do that?

This is the best

I must confess

But we already knew that

*

I do it for you

It is so true that

You are out of this world

You are hitting new heights

Yoy enlighten me every time

The more we are together

The more I want you forever

You make me feel so fine

***

Staying busy

Seeming fuzzy

The world we’re missing

Far above me

*

No heights are dizzy

When we’re buzzing

No lows we’re hitting

are that scuzzy

*

When a bold truth hits me

It’s the world that loves me

The sun’s rays kiss me

Kind clouds hug me

Shared vision:

Mystery and discovery

**

Staying busy

Sometimes fussy

The world we are missing

Far above me

*

No fight we’re wishing

When we’re rushing

No peace permitted

Or shared discussion

*

When a cold truth hits me

When the world won’t love me

The sun’s rays miss me

Dark clouds crush me

Find shared vision

Resilience and recovery

*

Shared vision above us

The sky

Sees the world that loves us

In our mind’s eye

Opening

Truth is all we see

When we look from within

When we begin

We’re free

Truth is everything

What’s in it for me?

When we begin again

It will still be

just you and me

Purely free

and the day will be ours again

*

Staying busy

Feelings busting

The world we are missing

Far above me

*

No light we’re risking

When we are trusting

Darkness witnessed

True love is lusty

*

When an old truth hits me

Every day should love me

The sun’s rays kiss me

Kind clouds hug me

Shared vision:

Mystery and discovery

***

We make our way

Every day

We work to make our world okay

and hope it stays

Better than before

*

We hope and pray

Every day

That our world will be okay

in outer space

Resilient to the core

+

No one works as hard as a star

To help us keep pace

with pure game face

Holding on tight

For this place

**

We make a play

Every day

We work to make our world feel great

and hope it stays

Better than before

**

We stake our claim

Every day

That our world will become great

in any case

Stop billions from a war

*

No one wins that starts from far

To secure their place

without saving face

We hold on tight

For this place

**

We have to face it

Just believe it

This is all our place right now

*

Can you taste it?

Really feel it?

Our beliefs take us further

This is how

**

We walk through doorways

Down paths and hallways

Why would we be left behind?

Open hearts and logic stays

The wisest souls are kind

When we open up our mind

We find we share all time

**

We make the grade

Every day

We work to make our world

How we say

and hope it stays

Better than before

*

We hope to play

Every day

And that our world will be how we say

In every way

Still working to be more

*

No one hurts a heart that’s smart

When we are all at home base

with a gracious face

Holding on tight for

All of us

in this place

***

I am always busy

I have this feeling that there is always something

that I need to take care of

So I go through life

trying to be aware of what’s next on the list

and make sure nothing is missed

We all have our share of

Work to be done

Some people run

Some take their time and

Some take everyone else’s

**

Wild fires

Climb higher

Some people sit back and

casually admire

*

What can we do?

We can stay true

Make every effort

To help others get through

*

A word of support

A helping hand

Thoughts in the right place

So we understand

our responsibility

To share our resources

Share all of the land

Save days

Every second

Save all of the land

**

I am always busy

I have this feeling that there is always something

that I need to take care of

So I go through life

trying to be aware of

what’s most important

and make sure we have

more planned

We should all have our share of

Time to have fun

Some people get none

Some find their time and

Some take everyone else’s

**

Needs are dire

Streets are tired

Some people kick back and

Wastefully deny it

*

What can we do?

We can stay true

Make much more effort

To help others get through

*

A word of support

A helping hand

Thoughts in the right place

So we understand

our responsibility

To share our resources

Share all of the land

Save days

Every second

Save all of the land

*

Share all of the land

Share all of the sky

Share all of the water

At least we can try

Save all of the land

***

Calm every day

No matter the chaos

Breathe peace into my life

Maybe get a day off

An hour with you and myself

Would be a world of wealth

I can’t imagine a better time

To take care of our health

For everybody really

Put our plans into action

Improve the way we are feeling

Find our satisfaction

*

Love every day

Embrace the chaos

Conceive words that are wise

Cancel views that are way off

A discussion with you and myself

Would be a world of wealth

There may never be a better time

To take care of our health

For everybody really

Give our plans some traction

Improve the way we are dealing

and every reaction

*

We are alive

Plan for the advantage

If we love life

Don’t take it for granted

Don’t get hung up on pain

Or unfairly brand it

To help us thrive

Stay optimistic and save the planet

Help others survive

Try to be realistic

Find solutions that heal

We all feel the real deal

Let’s make it better together

Life can be magic

*

Heal every day

Recover from chaos

Believe in a fair price

A good mood is the pay off

A balance for you and myself

Would be a world of wealth

Now is a better time

To take care of our health

For everybody really

From our plans, no distraction

Improve the way we are real and

For peace take action

*

We are alive

Plan for the advantage

If we love life

Don’t take it for granted

Don’t ignore

the chance to stop pain

We must understand it

To help us thrive

Stay optimistic and save the planet

Help others survive

Try to be realistic

Find solutions that heal

We all feel the real deal

Let’s make it better together

Life can be magic

Everything that we say

Will one day fade away

But today we can make a difference

That hopefully will stay

For a while

Make us smile

Help us all feel dialled in

And going to win

Today

**

Everything that we do

Can be so misconstrued 

That is why we must be persistent

And hopefully get through

For a mile

Kind of wild

Times helps us find our style

And to go on to win

Today

**

Instant success

Gratification of the senses

Feelings washing over us

are refreshing and bright

Jump into a lake

And let the cool mood give us power

We surface to a warm breeze

Then rest upon our towel

Birds chatter in the tall trees

Breathe in fragrances of flowers

Pray to share a good life

To a drought:

Torrential showers

**

If I should change my mind

You won’t get left behind

You always matter to me

*

Stars flash in the sky

Meteors meet my eye

Tomorrow’s dew drops cry

You always matter to me

**

Everything that we say

Will one day fade away

But today we can make a difference

That hopefully will stay

For a while

Make us smile

Help us love Earth’s wild spin

And always win

Today

***

You once used common sense

Now you take offence

We won’t always see eye to eye

if it means part of me will die

It makes much more sense

To think things through

To lead without assumption

How about for us?

We live like deserving champions of logic,

reason and true science

Add peace and love

Do you think that there could be

much better an alliance?

**

We once had to use a false pretence

Now you are on defence

We always have a reason why

and we have never flat-out lied

It makes much more sense

To work things through

To lead without deception

How about for us?

We live like we could be best friends

of logic, reason and true science

Add peace and love

Do you think that there should be

anyone in defiance?

**

We are all under a tonne of pressure

It might seem like aggression

Look a little bit closer

Try to get the most of

Kindness from your angle

We won’t get tangled

if we aim for the best

Try to understand

the views of the rest

It’s about what we invest

It is a true test

To avoid our own obsessions

and the danger of ego

Ignored but confessed

**

We once made a code too dense

Now we are sitting on the fence

We always use words to get us by

but we are thirsty

and they are dry

It still makes more sense

To see things through

Strive to lead with precision

How about for us?

We can live like

Breathing bookends

of logic reason and true science

Add peace and love

Did you think that there would be

such a

Heavy reliance?

**

We are all under a tonne of pressure

It may not be

something we can measure

Look a little bit closer

Try to get the most of

Kindness from your angle

We won’t get tangled

if we aim for the best

Try to understand

the views of the rest

It’s about what we invest

It is a true test

and the range of semantics

To enhance our own expression

Implore research

Not guesses
