Life Is Cool

I’m tired of taking my time when I’m making my mind up
I’m prone to get overwhelmed with the choices that be
This list of menu selections is making me wind up
I think I need more attention to focus the beam
My eyes are wandering about and can you really blame me
The more they open the more there is to find
For far too long I learned about why the caged bird sings
But now I’m taking this day and leaving nothing behind

I wanna read old poems in a haunted cave
And run away with someone on a summer day
Make angels in the snow and castles in the sand
Let the wheels fall off and get to know the land
I wanna ride to the river that will quench the soul
Listen to the opera and rock-n-roll
I’ll throw away the dirt and take the jewel
But I’m digging either way ‘causes life is cool

I never danced with the people around in the city
I’d rather watch from the wall where I’m planting my roots
Tonight is gonna be different though cause I’m open and seeing
It may be scary but I’m gonna shake in my boots
A sweaty man in a polyester suit said he’d save me
If I would only surrender my life to his truth
I thought about what he offered for more than a minute
Then finally said no my man you let me rescue you
