Take it as it comes - A song in stream of thought - 1/24/05
And your mama is a bird, or haven't you heard
Yeah, she never learned to fly
She just fall down.
I can't see the sky, but I still look up
You never were around
When I was down.
I take it as it comes, if it's from you
But you don't seem to think
I hurt you still.
Can't you see the sky,
Build it way up high,
Soaring like a bird,
Yeah - or haven't you heard.
Shimmy shimmy shimmy

I don't know how you do it
When you sing
I can't believe what words I'm saying
I can't believe you saw me, too
A beep bop beebop
A beep bop beebop
Skibbilabibble a blarney zoo.
Oooooooooh yeah.
I just want to fly away
Don't want to come here anymore
So I fly so high
Don't want to touch the ground
So I keep on flying
And I don't stop until I leave this place
I went through
The barrier of faith
And I kept on through
And I didn't stop until I left that place
Now I've flown so far
Into the other side
And I've gone so long
That I can't believe I'm here again
I just want to fly away
Don't want to come here anymore
So I'll sing my song
"Do I keep on this course?
Fly on my way?
Go until I die?"
And I just chose to do what's best for me.
Pink roses follow firefighter's hoses
Into the street suffering from burning feet
They can't find their way home
In the midst of the search a flame grazes a petal
Slipped onto the ground, fallen on metal
The pink rose finds a new purpose in life
Grow! said the hose as it tells those
Weary passersby to support the flower
In its quest to squelch the fire
But to keep it alive inside.
For most people
Life is a final exam
On seeing what will happen tomorrow
After not studying yesterday
