INSPIRATION SONG

INSPIRATION SONG

HEY O! DON’T DESPAIR IN THIS LAND OF BURNING SAND!
ONE HAS TO SWITCH FROM DREAMS TO REALITY YOU SEE
COME, DIP, IT’S FRESH WATER, WASH DIRTY MOUTH HAIR AND SKIN
PREPARE FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD SHAKE HANDS FEEL FREE
THERE IS OASIS IN EVERY DESERT
YOU MAY NOT GET BEER AND WINE TO GO HIGH
BUT YOU KNOW IT’S TOO BAD TO DIE DRY
TAKE WHATEVER WATER OFFERS YOU TO SOOTHE THE HURT
I MET A KID WHO STOLE MY CLOSET LONELINESS AND SILENCE
AND PULLED ME OUT IN THE SUN
SHE RODE MY BACK LIKE A JOCKEY AIMED HER TOY GUN
HIT ME WITH A MARADONA BALL TORE MY HAIR WITH ALL INNOCENCE
THEN I SAW HER PARENTS COMING TO TAKE HER ALONG
AND I FELT AGAIN COLD MORBID A-LONE
“DON’T CRY!” READ ME THE KID, SAID, “I WANNA HEAR YOUR SONGS
BUT PLEASE DON’T CRY EVEN AFTER I’M GONE!”
NOW WHAT TO SAY WHAT TO SIGH
THESE GEMS OF MOMENTS MAKE ME CONCURRENTLY SMILE AND CRY
SO WE SANG WE PLAYED AND DISCUSSED THE TALES
AND WE DECIDED WE’D CONNECT THROUGH THE CELESTIAL MAIL!
I DESIRED TO PLAY MORE AND ADORE SHE WAS SO LOVABLE
I KNEW THE KID FOUND IT FUN BUT HER PARENTS SMELLED TROUBLE
THEN THE CHILD WAS GONE AND I SAT LIKE A NEWBORN
THERE WERE TEARS OF JOY AND SORROW IN MY EYES
“I’M GLAD TO MEET YOU BABE, I UNDERSTAND YOUR COMPULSION!
AND HERE STARTS THE WAIT FOR ANOTHER SUCH MOMENT TO ARISE!”
IT’S EARTH AND I HAD A BIRTH BEYOND MY CONTROL
LOOK INTO THE NOOKS AND YOU MAY FIND IN A CLOSET YOUR SOUL
GASPING FOR BREATH BREAK THE CAGE LET THE FIRE DO IT’S CAPACITY
KNOW YOUR LENIENCE KNOW THE ALMIGHTY
TAKE THE BURN OR YOU’LL NEVER LEARN HOW TO TAKE THE HEAT
HIDE YOUR FACE AND HEART AND YOU STILL PAY A FORFEIT
THE BURNING SENSATION MAY INVOKE PASSION FOR TRUTHS AND LIES
IF YOU DIE, THAT’S OKAY, IT’S JUST TOMORROW OR TODAY
BUT IF YOU BEAR AND SURVIVE AND ACCEPT THAT SUCH IS LIFE
YOU KNOW HOW TO FLY THROUGH THE HELL WALK THROUGH THE SKY!
