This is a song I wrote for myself about learning to be myself and learning to let go
Lyrics
With no power
and without glory
I’m came here
to tell a story
Of a boy, who could not bear to face himself alone.
All alone life, it takes care if you leave it…
Alone life, it takes care if you leave it alone.
Too soon, declared to have all answers
Ate him fast; curious cancerous
As he grew up seeking no one but himself alone
All alone life, it takes care if you leave it,
Alone life, it takes care if you leave it alone.
I am not another person who, claims he’s not like you
I am just a perfect body projecting something true,
I reflect what you are feeling in this song I sing for you
Of a boy with no intention, young, boy who said he knew
A thousand stories
Told them all to you
One thousand times
A boy who only knew
One way forward
A boy who said he knew…
(there is only one way)
All that pressure, all the time
Now he’s learned, and I know I am
Just
a man who can let go, things happen on their own
On its own, life--I can care, but can leave it, alone life
It takes care of itself when I leave it
The line between protection and perfection, drawn in you
Is drawn in every personality I ever knew
I’m not saying we don’t shine alone, but one thing remains true
Your among a sea of travelers, this journey isn’t new
To anybody
Stars they shine on you
And everyone
Recovered you can too
Return to glory
Claim, you always knew
There is a simpler way
Painted over eyes without reflection
William Blake would not have known the rhyme
He is sleeping now his vision not forgotten
Innocence returned to him in time
Starry-eyed Van Gogh did not belong there
He couldn’t see, he wasn’t left behind
Not in vain, his torment not forgotten by
A universe that, makes up its own mind
I believe I haven’t been forgotten
I believe that it all will work out fine
The future from the past, it looks familiar now
I can see that, it all will come in time
