lyrics

Blowing it all out into the universe
No time for the doubters but make room for the curious
Playing through life with a sense of furious-ness
Moved from east coast to the west
Living life to the best

Wanna play major festivals
That break be pivotal
Gathering connections, moving like an orb
Hypnotic and surreal but it’s not macabre

Parallel thoughts but united through rhymes
Helps get us through these difficult societal times

CBT won’t cure this eco-anxiety
Afflicted with GERD from political satiety
This ain’t where I wanna be
Nor is it the future I want for they, him, or she

Doing deep breathing, NIA, mindfulness, and self-healing
Trying to recall hmmmmmmm sweet times of freewheeling
Like back in the days when it felt easier
Not swamped by depressing media.
No internet, looking up stuff in the encyclopedia
feeling now much more needier…
Of peace, sanity, love, and soul
Compassion, empathy, and healing unfold
Hopefully less trauma to be reproduced down
And transition to generational positive stories shared and told
