Fading.....into a plastic bag
Scream in your sleep and dream out loud
Embrace the pain, put your hands to the plow…open your eyes
Don’t ask how, just know that it’s gotta happen right here, right now
Before the moments past- think quick, act fast
But don’t be too hasty, keep your head clear…..don’t bother with fear….
….if you gotta…go ahead, shed a tear, don’t worry about your reflection, it’s only a distraction
Disregard self-satisfaction, because it’s not about you
Keep your eyes on the bigger picture, that’s where accomplishments achieve real gratification
Remember who you are though, that’s important….you were made that way with specific intent for a certain significant application…..you are the only one who can be who you are….
….The pages are full, but the story hasn’t been written……Be alive, don’t be dead
Your mind is sore, your feet are weary, the light is fading…..but you’re still there waiting
For the paper to be crumpled, and the next chapter to begin, the chair folds….the sun rises
There you are with all of your disguises…..the wind blows and you fall apart
Is it soft? Let go of the excuses and fly away home in your own mode of transportation
Unique fashion, a part of the whole
Add to the beauty, sing your own note…….Shed your layers, shine your light
But not to be seen or recognized….that’s where distortion abides….
….the basket breaks, you’re left alone
Your smile fades into a plastic bag
Stay afloat,
Don’t let go
Don’t give up
Look into my eyes……you are loved
You are the only one who can be who you are
Forget what you thought you knew…this is REAL….though it’s nothing new
Look to the sky and listen…your heart aches for something true
I cannot lie…..I know who you are
But I am here….you will make it through
Solace came with a drop of blood
Look into my eyes….you are loved
…..Take my hand and follow my lead….
We’ve got abundant life to live…..
Embrace the pain, put your hands to the plow…open your eyes
Don’t ask how, just know that it’s gotta happen right here, right now
Before the moments past- think quick, act fast
But don’t be too hasty, keep your head clear…..don’t bother with fear….
….if you gotta…go ahead, shed a tear, don’t worry about your reflection, it’s only a distraction
Disregard self-satisfaction, because it’s not about you
Keep your eyes on the bigger picture, that’s where accomplishments achieve real gratification
Remember who you are though, that’s important….you were made that way with specific intent for a certain significant application…..you are the only one who can be who you are….
