I want you to live your life
But here's a twist
I want you to be sober
Thru ever bit of pleasure or pain
Don't give in to the pharmaseuticcals
Don't give in to that "just one toke"
Don't bump a line
Don't heat up the pipe
Don't get out your needle
I want you to be pure.
I want every aching bone in your body to know
What it feels like to be real.
To be awake all night because your heart aches
(Communicate)
To miss the past but know those memories will last forever
(Recreate)
To wake up early and watch the sunrise and get pumped it's a new day,
To fall asleep early listening to the rain
(Embrace).
I want you to feel.
To understand every sense you have is meant to be a receptor for something BEYOND what you think is real
Become the sun on a Monday afternoon that is glad to still be shining
Become the glistening of light shimmering thru the leaves of the trees as you go for a nature walk, even when you haven't walked in months
I want you to jump into the ocean head first knowing it's taken countless efforts to over come the fear of what lies beneath.
I want you to be that depth.
I want you to live without regret.
I want you to think of those who've been there, even if they're not now; they taught you something about yourself.
Truth is
We are all not just equal.
We are all so magnificent and different
Unique with our own abilities
And we feel hunger
We all feel pain
We see the blue under our skin and know we bleed red just the same
I've seen the hurt.
I've felt it too.
But of all the bullshit you feel
Nothing compares to being completely and utterly responsible for becoming YOU.
