Look At What We

Like a snail without a home
An icecream without a cone
Like a beehive with no honey
Or the wallstreet broker without money
Like a tap without any water
A farmer’s wife without a daughter
I look at what is missing and feel a little funny
Hey you, look at what we’ve got
And not at what we have not
We got the spring
We got the wind blowing through the trees
We got the sounds of the birds and the bees
We got love
We got the sun
We got the roof and we got the bread
We got songs dancing in our head
We got love
Like the rider with no horse
Like nature that can’t take its course
Like the cow without her calf
Half of a twin without its half
It’s like the blind man without his dog
Or a city shrouded in smog
I look at what is gone and don’t feel very sunny
Shall we look at what we’ve got
And not at what we’ve not
We got the spring
We got the wind blowing through the trees
We got the sounds of the birds and the bees
We got love
We got the sun
We got the roof and we got the bread
We got songs dancing in our head
We got love
Like snogging without second base
Like living without your embrace
I want to see you and hold you tight
To kiss you and spend the night
Want to whisper sweet words in your ear
Wish I was there or you here
I hope that you are well and I will hold you later
So let us look at what we’ve got
And not at what we have not
We got the spring
We got the wind blowing through the trees
We got the sounds of the birds and the bees
We got love

Pull up the drawbridge
Shut all the shutters
Retreat into my own little universe
In my mind there’s chaos
Thoughts running around
Feels like life is a curse
No, No Go away!
Leave me in peace
Though peace is what I really need to find
No, No Go away
I need this to cease
All this darkness in my mind
Birds are chattering
But all I hear is too much noise
Keeping me out of my sleep
The sun is shining
But all I see is too much light
Digging me up from the deep
No, No Go away!
Leave me in peace
Though peace is what I really need to find
No, No Go away
I need this to cease
All this darkness in my mind
No, No Go away!
Leave me in peace
Though peace is what I really need to find
No, No Go away
I need this to cease
All this darkness in my mind

What if I can not
What if I will not do
Am I enough
Is it enough I do
Caring enough
Daring enough for you
Sexy and smart
Straight from the heart for you
Dream on
Be strong
Clever and wise
Quite a surprise I am
Quiet concise
Dainty and nice I am
Pretty and clean
Smiling pristine I can
Faithful and kind
Complacent refined I can
Dream on
Be strong
Yalala
I am woman
I am free
Just back off
Don’t bother me
I am woman
Don’t pin me down
I am queen
I wear my crown
Dream on
Be strong
Dream on
Be strong
Yala

Not the Car

There is a knot inside my tummy
There is a pain in my old head
When I think about my problems
Or that mean thing someone said
As I stare at that white ceiling
All my worries overpower me
I feel so insignificant
While my monsters devour me
I try to calm myself
By remembering what I know
I look deep inside of me
To my quiet place I go
There’s something I forget from time to time
Love will conquer fear and make me whole
I am not the car, I am the passenger
I am not the body but the soul
I feel bleary-eyed and tired
There’s a pain inside my gut
My physique is out of order
By I can’t tell you what
While I wallow in discomfort
And hope and pray to get better
I feel my happiness slip away
To reveal a mood that’s bitter
I try to calm myself
By remembering what I know
I look deep inside of me
To my quiet place I go
There’s something I forget from time to time
Love will conquer fear and make me whole
I am not the car, I am the passenger
I am not the body but the soul

It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
Back to my roots
Back to my source
Back to where I came from
It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I'll let you know I'm well
Although I do not know
If you can read my writing
Don't miss me or be sad
I'll hold you in my heart
As I know you will too
In a while you'll come
We can re-connect
Know that I am happy
It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I'll remember why I came
I'll remember what I learned
And what I had to offer
It is time for me to leave
I am going back home
I'll travel through the dawn
Towards the east
Towards the light
