Hello

How are you?

Long time no see

I’ve been under the dirt

Under a tree

Now I’m on a park bench

as clear as can be

Somehow some way you should

Come visit me

**

Most people treat me like

an absolute zero

But with the load I’ve been hauling

For years I’ve been crawling

Amidst feet that are falling

And I am never stalling

I’m an unsung hero

**

Do you want to come near so

You can hear me more clear? Yo

Please don’t fear tears though

I will not

fall through the cracks

I will make it back

If you just

cut me some slack

Build me up

Instead of burying me deep

You have skills enough

To be wary of a creep

*

And I am not that

Actually in fact

I am more than an insect

With the world on my back

**

Some people treat me like

an absolute zero

But with the weight I’ve been bearing

For years I’ve been caring

Amidst eyes that are staring

And they are never sharing

I’m an unsung hero

**

Can you please come near so

You can hear me more clear Yo

I don’t fear tears so

I’m not

Scared of their attack

I always watch my back

So why don’t you cut me some slack?

Build me up

Instead of squashing me flat

You have skills enough

To have time for a chat?

***

Respect for the reasons

For everything we do

We may roll like thunder

Or shine bright in the blue

*

We crash like waves

down on the beach

Swim fast until the shore

comes into reach

*

We heat up like

the very best part of the day

But stay cool within

Because there is

No other way

**

There is a good reason

For everything we do

We may rise like mountains

And find a pathway through

*

We stand so strong

Like forest trees

And share the true colours

that we believe

*

We appeal for

The moment and for all of time

There is no fooling 

Because we

lay it

on the line

**

Lightening flashes

The sun is stronger

One season splashes

Then it stays dry longer

*

The mountains won’t move

Forests are in use

The homes of creatures

And many features

Should be the ones we choose

Homes that soothe

To help us all improve

Do what we can do

With everything we do

**

It goes beyond reason

Past everything we do

We may reach like cities

For a much better view

*

We buzz like wires

above the streets

Raise up buildings until

the sky’s complete

*

We have many

challenges that others

won’t know

Like unwritten rules

I guess that’s just

the way it goes

**

Nighttime passes

The sun stays longer

The season blasts us

But our will is stronger

*

The Earth always moves

Day and night are proof

The home of creatures

And many features

Is the one we can‘t lose

Home that soothes

To help us all improve

Do what we can do

With everything we do

***

There were some circumstances 

We missed some chances

To communicate

In the most productive way

We always cared

More love we shared

Clearly when we said

our last goodbye

We were strong

And atill trying

Never ending

Life surprising

Can never hide it

I miss you man

I’m sure you understand

*

Let’s make a new plan together

*

We still have forever 

Memories last that long

Frozen in time

But then melting

And the future has more

That have not been felt yet

*

Proudly my tears fall

as I know it’s going to be alright

We win fights

Some of us win

just by being

Connected

***

You could make my day

so much better

By being on the same page

as me

Especially a smile

can take me for miles

A moment of cheer

can last for a year

as I think about

when we are each

on our own missions

But share the same vision

There is no doubt

It is working out

One way or another

**

Then my day got so much worse

Because you

totally brushed me off

But only for a while

That is not your style

There’s nothing to fear

We hold our peace dear

As I think about

How we share many similar goals

Way deep down in our souls

There is no doubt

It should eventually

work out for the better

**

Every day it all works out

One way or another

Some ways

are better than others

*

Without a doubt

We do what we can

To follow a plan

And take a stand

So it works in our favour

*

Good love is a saviour

A better behaviour

**

Help the day work out for the best

Savour each moment that we feel sure

Find our favourite program file

In our brain there’s a pile

The plan becomes clear

Put it in high gear

As we realize

In our minds

We are our own bosses

*

When we all share causes

there is no doubt

It will work out for the best

***

What is this world coming to?

And I’m an optimist

So many people still prefer

to rule with an iron fist

They throw logic out the window

And cross kindness off the list

Because they won’t risk

Caring

Since there is something

they might miss

*

Something for themselves

It’s understandable

Unless there’s

Surplus on their shelves

And there is plenty more

where that came from

Yet they

keep others

locked up so tight

In thoughtless economic cells

*

Not because

the keepers of the classes

Can’t afford to help

But because they might be blind

Or just unfair and

lazier than hell

**

What is this world coming to?

And I’m a sinner as well

So many people perpetuate greed

it grows hard to tell

Don’t throw honesty out the window

Instead climb out of our shell

Maybe you can’t sell

compassion

But they might listen if we yell

*

Something for ourselves

It’s understandable

Because

nothing else seems to help

And we have to convey

to all of them

That we can create

way more light

thoughtfully answering

wishing wells

*

If we try

We can save more of the masses 

Just because it would be kind

To keep us all

Out of 

A living hell

***

Who did I wrong?

Did I wrong anyone?

Let me atone for mistakes

That can’t be undone

Because there is a perspective

That’s got me on the run

To get back to you

And the world that has

quickly spun

*

Spinning

You hit me

And fast I am buried

Now I can’t give to you

Explanations that I’ve carried

**

Don’t get me wrong?

Does it seem wrong to anyone?

I will own my mistakes

That I’ve left undone

Because there is a clear reason

That I have close to none

When I get back to you

Our best intentions will have won

*

Winning?

You get me?

Yet you still seem wary

Now I will give to you

Opinions that are so varied

**

Think one way or think another

Don’t bet it all on assumptions

We will all find redemption

Just have some gumption

See the world through

Until the answers all seem true

And peace and love

Have all of you

**

How is this wrong?

This is not wrong to anyone

I did not know my mistakes

So I was undone

Now there is a situation

That is really no fun

Can you get back to me?

Find the truth

You will be stunned

*

Stunning

You hear me?

The note I have carried?

One thing I can give to you

Expresson beyond comparing

***

If you can listen to me

You just might hear

What it means to me

*

To be who I want to be

*

I’m not putting on a show

It’s the only way I know

I may just go with the flow

But when things get heavy

The impact starts to grow

**

When I feel light

My dreams will ride

Create a new current

For a strong and fast mind

On the real slow ground

Send the temperature

Soaring up to high

from so way low down

Patience helps

keep emotions in control

Calm Or

Energetic

With the Earth we roll

Try to find balance

for every soul

**

If you share a vision with me

You just might see

My reality

*

And what I want it to be

*

Flowing endlessly

Only what is meant to be

Always

leaning towards more equity

To set everyone free

Compared to

times that are hard to be

Living peacefully

When that’s all we need

***

Too many forgotten yesterdays

We need memories to make tomorrow

Today is a starting point

To get past trouble and sorrow

We have to learn from the past

Build on every moment

Time isn’t something we borrow

We keep the goals

Dig deep in our souls

Our memories help make tomorrow

**

Every possible future

Grows from what we know today

What we care for and nurture

Shows up when it flows this way

Careful concentration

And kind consideration

Help us build up a better day

It is the very best way

To make it through okay

No matter what they say

What we think

Always comes into play

**

Too many repeated mistakes

We need to keep learning to make tomorrow

Today we balance our life

To get through our days with more flow

We can learn from the past

And then seize the moment

The future is something we don’t know

We make new goals

Feel free in our souls

Our hopes and dreams help make tomorrow

**

Every potential future

Shows in what we know today

What we cradle and treat pure

Grows up when it flows this way

Careful concentration

And kind consideration

Help us design a better day

It is the very best way

To make it through okay

No matter what they say

What we think

Always comes into play

***

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
