I am just wondering

If I don’t pay attention

to the little flaws

will they go away?

Or will they grow and start to show

Overtake the good

And decimate the meaning?

*

I can think my way through this

It’s about perception and reality

It just turned out like this

It is what it is

**

I am just blundering

If I don’t pay attention

to the natural cause

will it be okay?

Like will it flow and start to show?

Overtake the fake

And demonstrate the true meaning?

*

I can think my way through this

It’s about perception and reality

It has always been like this

It is what it is

**

It is what it is

That is the premise

We do our best

Whatever we do

*

Reality twists

It’s nothing we missed

We do our best to just make it through

*

There are so many details

Focus on health

We need more wealth

With a better view

Aim for peace 

It’s always true

We feel what we feel

We do what we do

**

I am just thundering

If I don’t pay attention

to the pathways that cross

will it be today?

The stars we know

will start to show?

Overtake cruel fate

And differentiate new meanings?

*

I can think my way through this

It’s about perception and reality

It has finally come to this

It is what it is

**

Aim for peace

It will stay true

We feel what we feel

We do what we do

***

Some people like me

Some people don’t 

Some people understand

Some people won’t

*

I am right about some things

I may be wrong about others

I don’t know all the answers yet

But from some perspectives 

it’s all the same

**

I think I said the right thing

Or I had it all wrong

We would get much further ahead

if we all got along

*

Some people will like you

Some people just won’t 

Some people lump us in one pile

Some people don’t

**

I think I did the right thing

There are many ways to go wrong

I can get much further ahead

if I just write a song

*

Words to solve the future

Days left to design

We get along better together

With a considerate mind

***

No one really cares

There is writing on the wall

If we can’t see it anymore

It won’t make a difference at all

*

Then they slow down

stop and stare

But don’t say a single word

When the thoughts stay

Posted clear to them

They finally make their voices heard

*

We are different

It is true

It starts with what we do

If we reach the finish

We can help them make it too

**

We don’t get time to share

This makes it easier to fall

How we safely express ourselves

should be entirely our call

*

If they become more aware

And will start to spread the word

Then we can speak

about what we think

So our ideas finally are heard

*

Who will be in charge?

It is you

It starts with what we do

Because we lead our life

We can help them

Get through too

**

We help by being kind

Give everyone their time

We say what we want to say

Hope to be well

through every day

And find more

happiness some way

**

We all should really care

The writing is on the wall 

There are some things we can’t ignore

Make a difference for one and all

***

It is what it is

We shouldn’t be surprised 

Life just has moments

We react when they arrive

We may question or cringe

What a time to be alive

Sometimes it’s not grand

We might say it’s all planned

It is what it is

**

We truly know what we feel

When it’s fine, we are fine

While we read into the signs

We might run out of time

I care

You care

I’m strong

You’re strong

We don’t always compete

It is what it is

It’s abstract or concrete

**

It is what it is

Quite clear it is disguised

Today has something 

While for more progress we strive

We may wonder who wins

Who will stagnate

and who thrives

Sometimes I can’t stand

When it gets out of hand

but it is what it is

**

We finally reach the reveal

And find what we find

If it is too out of line

We just might lose our mind

Fair is fair

And wrong is wrong

There is no in between

It is what it is

Do you know what I mean?

*

Perspective means everything

We may hit or miss

We just carry on

It is what it is

***

Fully fighting for the side

that helps things turn out alright

For me and you

And to keep a fair balance

in sight

*

We all have our own life

We do the best we can

from one point of view

Someone else might be running against us

So what more can we do?

**

I keep doing my own thing

For me

And also try to aim for

what is in our best interest

All of us

Each one of us

All of me and you

Somehow it makes a difference

When we do what we do

**

Do you want to fight for the side

that helps things turn out alright?

For me or you

How do we keep more justice

Alive?

*

I fight for my own life

I do the best I can

from my point of view

Someone else might be totally against me

So now what should I do?

**

I live the dream and hope it’s good

For me

I also try to work for

what is in our best interest

All of us

Each one of us

All of me and you

Somehow it makes a difference

When we do what we do

***

High up in the trees

We can see the breeze

We look into the skies

And observe

a formation of geese

*

Not quite perfection

Natural selection

And life’s asymmetries

Are all that we need

*

Except for the ideals

Only what we sense seems real

So hold on firmly

to visions that appeal

Improve everything we feel

**

We can’t back down from our ideals

Unless they prove harmful

Reach out for the best world

Keep our loving arms full

Love has a strong pull

We should get it into our hearts

And into our strong skull

More people should be aware

and caring as we stare out into the world

**

High as stormy seas

More than just a breeze

We look into dark skies

Above the ocean as it heaves

*

Not quite destruction

Natural induction

To life’s fierce qualities

We will never concede

*

Accept healthy ideals

Only what we sense seems real

So hold on firmly to connections

that can heal

Everything we feel

***

Magnitude unheard of

Meltdown together

Spellbound forever

Trace the energy

to the vital soul

that is thriving

All the time

*

Wake up in the morning

Get up together

Stay up forever

Chase the energy

to the central goal

That is alive in

All our minds

**

Energy holds us

Like a miner holds gold

Dedicated to finding us

And never letting go

Shining bright

Combining light

Found within our souls

We remain together

For forever

Or until we get past old

And reach the end of time

We get through all our days

In special ways

The sun is ablaze

Just for you and I

**

Gratitude we learn of

Felt more together

In store forever

Face the energy

Of the vital soul

that is striving

All the time

*

Achieve more by evening

Dream more together

Feel more forever

Base the energy

On the central goal

That stays so wise in

All our minds

**

Energy shapes us

Like the vast sky shapes clouds

Creatively designing us

Always fresh right now

Dark or light

Don’t spark a fight

Thunder rolls like doubt

Skies change together

For forever

Calm and peaceful

or fierce and loud

As we hold onto Time

And we make our own way

Embrace our day

And time will amaze

Just for you and I

***

I am sure that I said something that could have been offensive

It did not come across quite the way that I wanted it to

I am sure that I do not need to be so apprehensive

Because what I’m trying to express is starting to get through

*

I don’t want

to make this person mad

But more than a fair chance

They have had

They should know

what is right or wrong

We should try to get along

But now I have to speak up

While my intentions and emotions

have a battle of their own

Into the depths

we are thrown

But we will never be alone

**

I am sure that I said something that I would like to take back

It did not come across quite the way that I wanted it to

I hope you know that I did not mean to go on the attack

At least what I’m trying to express is starting to get through

*

I don’t want to make this person sad

I’ll help them advance

And feel more glad

They should know

My thoughts like this song

We should try to get along

Now I have to speak up

While my intentions and devotion

Fight more battles of their own

Up to

heights that we should know

We will never be alone

**

We have made it this far

By just being who we are

We should

be the best for everyone

Don’t let our world come undone

Let’s be objective

Protective

And understanding

Of how the words are landing

***

I am fine

Really am

And I have got a plan

*

It takes effect

every way

if you get me

*

Seems to be true

What I say

What I do

Works out okay

Just about

Every day

*

Seems like

People still don’t expect me

*

There is no stopping now

I will make it somehow

Fate I can tell

will not be able to catch me

*

The days still get longer

And I’m feeling stronger

I predict that

Eventually

Trouble will test me

*

In my mind

Is the plan

I do all that I can

*

No matter what

time of day

that they check me

*

Seems to be true

What I say

What I do

Works out okay

Just about

Every way

*

At least

If the world will protect me

*

There is no stopping now

I will make it somehow

Train my mind well

and help the world to project me

*

The days will get shorter

I’m feeling in order

It seems like

Time and energy

Somehow connect me

*

To moments of content

Rewarding time well-spent

In behaviour

that accurately reflects me

***

Beyond my day is another way

Past my experience

Maybe in

the life of someone else

Or just in

the arrangement of things in the world

*

Finding rock and rivers

Sunshine peering through clouds

To see buildings with doors

Windows open and closed

Cars

parked

and driving on roads

*

The world out there

Stays there

Even when we remain unaware

*

It is moving

There are new things

Sometimes together

we will view things

From the same angle

When we are choosing

Like when we pick

which show to watch

And if communication

is top notch

**

Beyond their day is another way

Past their experience

Maybe in

the life of everyone else

Or just in

the arrangement of life in the world

*

Finding trees in forests

Creatures peer through long grass

To see insects with missions

People distant or close

Thinking about what we want most

**

The world out there

Waits there

And we can work

to become aware

*

Keep improving

Help the new things

Sometimes together

we will view things

From the same angle

When we are choosing

Like if we plan

to help out lots

With communication

That is top notch

*

Getting things done

By thinking of one

Simply talk more about it

And more battles are won
