Right Hand
I woke up this morning feeling low down and *****
Like I don't deserve a thing
I woke up thinking about karma and love equations
And what would I deserve?
You could say it was selfish
You could say it wasn't true
But I want to shine like the sun
And chirp like the birds outside my window
I think about that beautiful smile
That exists just because
And I look at my hands that grab at the air
Like they always have
You could say it was selfish
You could say it wasn't true
But I want to shine like the sun
And chirp like the birds outside my window
In singing and songs and guitars with chords
I have a generosity
And I want everyone to know that I've always cared
That it's always there
You could say it was selfish
You could say it wasn't true
But I want to shine like the sun
And chirp like the birds outside my window
I once said I didn't want to come first
Because I was afraid I'd be clotheslined by the finishing line
If that's where the giving starts and the taking ends
I'll run around like a headless chicken
You could say it was selfish
You could say it wasn't true
But I want to shine like the sun
And chirp like the birds outside my window
