lyrics

Oh the many times I've counted.
All the friends I'll never meet.
They'll greet me in my music,
And when I go to sleep.

I've shut the door behind my mind's cupboard.
Where I select my blessings and my woes.
I've had enough of death plaguing my conscious.
So open up the windows and repose.

If you hear a dog crying,
And know it's not safe from harm.
Will you call the local shelter,
And rectify what's been done?

A friend you'd be to me forever in my heart strings.
I'll pluck a tune for you note by note,
I've always thought myself a poor dancer.
So now, I'll paint a portrait of what's in my throat.

These yellows, which keep me alight.
The greens, which keep me grounded.
And these blues, when I am electrified while I am not grounded.
And red.
When evidence is needed to support evidence.
When the oblivious just become so obvious.
When I am flushed with love for all,
Even for those who have done the unthinkable.
As I believe I've done.

I have felt those who have touched me.
And I have listened to those who have been touched by me.
And mostly these two exchanges are all I need to keep progressing,
But if I am pre-empted from these processes I blue-screen.

But now I am green-and-yellow-screening,
So full of zest on a day when I am supposed to be zestful.
Full of light and grounded to all which I love.
And I thank and bless all of those who have allowed me to get to this point.
And thank and bless all of you the same.

Well I've never seen you, I hope you dress the way you like.
As all adorned to the privilege, can fight the good fight.
We've all been set in motion to reach to those who we love.
So lift up your legs and saunter, let's feel it in song.
