YOUNG AT HEART FULL OF HOPES AND DREAMS
BELIEVER OF HAPPY ENDINGS
ALWAYS LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JUST CAN'T HIDE THOSE POSITIVE VIBES
WANTING THE BEST FOR EVERYONE
AND OFCOURSE TO HAVE LOTS OF FUN
TRUST YOUR SOUL TO SHOW YOU THE WAY
THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE O.K.
IF YOU CARE TOO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH
THINGS CAN GET PRETTY MESSED UP
IF YOU PUT OTHERS FIRST
THINGS CAN BE EVEN WORSE
I THINK FEW BALANCE THE SCALES
AND SO THEN DESPAIR PREVAILS
THERE MUST BE SOME WAY OUT
BUT I TEND TO HAVE MY DOUBTS
UPS AND DOWNS CAN BE FOUND ALL AROUND
THE ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE... HANG ON TIGHT
PEOPLE DO A LOT OF THINGS
THAT MAKE NO SENSE TO ME
LIKE CUT FLOWERS IN A VASE
SEEM TO ME SO OUT OF PLACE
WHY NOT PLANT THEM OUTSIDE
AND LET THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES
DON'T CUT THEM DOWN IN THEIR PRIME
WHY NOT GET A POTTED PLANT
IF YOU WANT THEM INSIDE
SAME GOES FOR ONES THAT PEOPLE WEAR
WHAT A WASTE LET'S NOT GO THERE
JUST LET THEM DIE A NATURAL DEATH
THEY'LL SPREAD THEIR SEEDS AND YOU WILL GET
MORE LIVE FLOWERS TO ENJOY
IF YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT THEM
TAKE A PICTURE IT LASTS LONGER
AND NO HARM DONE TO THE FLOWER
OR YOU CAN EVEN SKETCH THEM TOO
WHAT HARM HAVE THEY EVER DONE TO YOU
I ASKED ALEXA WHAT TIME IT WAS
AND THIS WAS HER REPLY
IT'S GONNA BE A THRILLING THURSDAY
I HAVE TO WONDER WHY
IS SHE A FORTUNE TELLER NOW
WHAT A STRANGE THING TO SAY
I ASKED HER AGAIN
IT WAS THREE THIRTY FIVE A.M.
THEN ASKED FOR CHICAGO WEATHER
AND AFTER SHE ANSWERED
WENT BACK TO THE MOVIE THAT JUST ENDED
OR SO I THOUGHT
BUT IT STARTED PLAYING CHICAGO INSTEAD
I HAD JUST WATCHED GET SHORTY
WHEN I BACKTRACKED TO SEE WHY IT PLAYED CHICAGO
I SAW HERE IS WHAT I FOUND
SO GUESSING IT WAS WHEN I ASKED FOR CHICAGO WEATHER
ALEXA WENT THERE FIRST BEFORE SHE ANSWERED MY WEATHER QUESTION
HOW BIZARRE
WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY
IT STARTED AS A POEM THAT TURNED INTO PROSE
GONNA BE A WEIRD DAY I SUPPOSE
IN A WORLD OF SEX CRAZED FOOLS
IT'S NOT BREAKING ANY RULES
TO BE STRICTLY PLATONIC
PEOPLE GET SO OBSESSED
WITH RELATIONSHIP STATUS
THAT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS
I AVOID SPACE INVADERS
SOME THINK THEY ARE CRUSADERS
TO BRAINWASH YOU TO CONFORM
MAYBE THEY CAN'T IMAGINE
ANYTHING OUT OF FASHION
SHOULDN'T GET SOME REACTION
WHETHER THERE ARE MANY OR FEW
WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY AS YOU
YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
NO JUDGMENT HERE TO BE CLEAR
YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE YOUR OWN WAY
JUST LET OTHERS DO THE SAME
SOMETIMES I LIKE TO PLAY WITH RHYMES
MAYBE THEY LIKE TO PLAY WITH ME
AD INFINITUM I INVITE 'EM
MAYBE THEY INVITE ME
WHATEVER THE CASE
IT'S A MAGICAL PLACE
WHERE I FEEL FREE
TO ESCAPE CREATIVELY
LOST AND FOUND IN LOTS OF THOUGHTS
NOT SURE IF THEY MAKE SENSE OR NOT
SOMETIMES JUST BITS OF BRAIN CANDY
NEVER QUITE SURE WHERE THEY WILL LEAD
ONCE UPON A FAIRY TALE
FOLLOWED BY A BREAD CRUMB TRAIL
SCATTERED PIECES HERE AND THERE
LEADING ALMOST EVERYWHERE
YET NOT REALLY ANYWHERE
NO ONE SEEMED TO BE AWARE
THEY WERE FOLLOWED BY A BEAR
SO THERE WAS NO REAL SCARE
SO THERE WAS NOTHING TO SHARE
BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD BEWARE
OF FAIRY TALES FOLLOWED BY BREAD CRUMB TRAILS
THEY COULD LEAD YOU ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE
IN THIS INSTANCE THAT IS THE CASE
DO YOU SUFFER FROM LOW SELF ESTEEM
DO YOU CARE TOO MUCH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK AND WHO ARE THEY
TO THINK IT'S OK TO HAVE THEIR SAY
SILLY MIND TRIPS LIKE THAT
BEST LEFT IN THE PAST
IT'S TIME THAT YOU RESPECT YOURSELF
DON'T WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE
SELF ESTEEM COMES WITH SELF RESPECT
SELF LOVE HAS A WONDERFUL EFFECT
BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE
LET OTHERS DO THE SAME JUST SET YOURSELF FREE
WHY DO PEOPLE SELF DESTRUCT
SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
WHEN HAS ONE HAD ENOUGH
AND REALLY WANT TO CHANGE
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE KEY
IF ONE IS TO SUCCEED
IN FIGHTING THOSE DEMONS
AND ALL OF THEIR REASONS
NO INTERVENTION CAN SUCCEED
UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO PROCEED
DECIDE SELF LOVE'S A BETTER CHOICE
AND LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE
