went back to sleep a few times
nothing to do, but still not dead
so maybe i'll just dream of rhymes
and sometimes it is relaxing
and sometimes it is worrisome
and sometimes it is so taxing
to sleep too long, to become numb . . .
woke up, got out of bed
played some Ruzzle to wake my head
though about what to do next
played some Words with Friends instead
and sometimes it is relaxing
and sometimes it is a let down
and sometimes it is so taxing
to play too long, nothing gets done
a smile can become a frown . . .
woke up, got out of bed
just checked my text messages
saw what my best friend had said
remembered time passages
she asked me why I do not sleep at night
I started to get a little uptight
then I answered her with a rhyme
and suddenly as if I saw the light
and everything just seemed to be alright
yes everything was alright
I told her
Every day is good for me because I am alive
Even when I am depressed it's good
Cuz I am feeling and not numb, I know I'll survive
I'd explain it better if I could
I love the roller coaster of emotions
That is what this life is all about
From the calm to the scary commotions
Even when it seems I'm full of doubt
Even when I cry alone late at night
Even when I beg someone to save me
Deep inside I know everything's alright
Cuz I still have the gift this life gave me
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know
To get up and take one more step
And realize I'm not done yet
Right now I can do anything
I am the star of my show
I decide where I should go
The wind is me and I can blow
And all I need to know
is...
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know
This is all I need to know
To make it all good
I would explain it better
If I could . . .
So I woke up, got out of bed
and shook the cobwebs from me head
remembering I'm not yet dead
remembering the words I said
Yes I got up, took one more step
And realized I'm not done yet
Right now I can do anything
I am the star of my show
I decide where I should go
I am the wind and I can blow!
And all I need to know
I've got
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know
I've got...
The chance to breathe another breath
The chance to find out what comes next
A moment can change everything
That's all I need to know...
to enjoy the show.
