Set my spirit free
Hang me from a tree
Sing a song to me
Open my eyes to see
I need a simple reminder
Dont forget to be
Dont forget to breathe
Dont forget to believe
There is real peace
Stagnant waters have ease
Waking up from a deep sleep
Save my soul please

There is something inside you that you don't want to show
It seems like fear but feels like sorrow,
there's a cause I want to know
you need something to hold onto to keep you afloat yet
you swim far from the boat,
the tides at your throat
Pulling you under you want to let go
  your fingers are slipping and you tell them no!
Its suddenly calm and you think how come?
  You dont get why
A subtle wind blew and told you to try
On the water you lay searching for a reason to fly away
You notice yourself at the surface with ease
You stood up to say
Today will always be a good day to play

.                             Somebody new
                          A breath of fresh air
                     Without somebody new
                            I'm not sure how I'd move on
                         I'm not sure what I'd do
                    Without somebody new
                              Keeping my eyes open
                            For somebody new
                        I want to wonder your kiss
                            And thirst for your touch
                                     I'll fall into you soon
                                         Somebody new

There's matter and there
is energy

Both are the same
in this way

Neither can be created
nor destroyed
just transformed

Atoms and molecules
and what's moving
grouping them
together to form life

All these little things
making up bigger things
We are so small,
so small we can't
physically see what
we're making.
Is that where all
our wonder comes from?

Looking around the room
at the still objects
I see all these
moving particles coming
together to be.

What is holding them
together? What is
their purpose of connection?
Energy is working
always to influence
all of creation.

This energy is always
moving, whether seen or not
always giving and taking

It's so minute
and completely vast
simultaneously
It's the connection
to everything

It is my spirit
that keeps me alive
and the change
into new life when
the atoms change
and the body dies

Only acknowledgment
of the profound energy
can lead to the
answers of our wonder,
the reason for life

Focused on physicality
the bigger picture
will never be seen

The bigger picture
is too big for our eyes
but that's why we have;
Our minds
to sort out
the manifestations
And our hearts
to hold onto purpose

It will always
be hard to explain
something so much
bigger than ourselves
but I know
every part is vital

Every part is conjoined
to the last and the next
making up one

That is reason enough
for me to want to be
a helpful change
a good person
and forgiving.

Anything is possible

Can you see through what you do?
It is far from who you are

They are planets apart
What is real is from the heart

Open both eyes then open the next
Open your chest and see us connect!

We all deserve to live free

Why do we want things free?

I thought it was supposed to be a free country?

We're selling our time

We're selling our effort

All for the paper...

That's supposedly how we get out necessities.

We buy our food

We pay for a place to live in this world,

So this is "the real world".

Why is the education we supposedly need,

To make the big money and land that good career,

Putting us in shackles of debt?

We're paying for this land

That is given to us by mother nature

For free

And we can teach each other and ourselves

To be free of judgement

To be free of oppression

To respect all of life equally

We can stand up for one another

We can stand up for the people in the world

We all deserve to live free

I'm a salty poor person
   in bed
Eating bread and butter for dinner
Peanut butter dipped chips for desert

Water only for me
It's almost time for bed
   and I think
If I fall asleep on the other side
Would I wake up with different luck?

Take in the trees to help me sleep
    and always
Remember to breathe
Remember all those people that are there for me

The dark makes me feel at home
My dog never lets me feel alone

I never had a solid plan
But my 22nd year finished
And I'm understanding what I am

I worked the ******* shift today
    and I know
I can't always have my way

But I think I deserve better than this
I deserve to find my bliss

They say something like
The less you have
The higher you fly
But where the **** am I?

Stuck in this place
I've always been
I'm bound to leave
I wonder when

One day I'll be there
In my own nirvana
   and I'll remember

Those days
When I didn't even know what I wanted
