Reflections of Reality

Throughout history there has been Ideas about how it all began What plane we have all come from And our existence from now on It’s a mystery what separates us From all the herds of nothingness Is it because we can speak Or something else, Like the ability to dream Tune your mind with reflection Use your attention with intention Imagine what it is you want If you’re clear, it will appear Our thoughts create our world Contrary to what you may have heard Your mind’s power is so strong Just by thinking you will affect the outcome Reaction is the result of action The vibrations impact energy patterns They crash around like waves Influencing the way we behave This world is moving so fast The chaos seems to cast A web of confusion Blocking us all from sound conclusions I’m not here to say I know What the future is going to hold But tomorrow’s not just another day Let’s start creating what do you say Tune your mind with reflection Use your attention with intention Imagine what it is you want If you’re clear, it will appear

The Earth is fine it’s been there a long time Now experts claim we are crossing a line Between our lives and all of future kind The precise cause they strain to define There are the chemicals, clean water & CO2 But see how far we’ve come through scientific breakthroughs We live today like the kings & queens of past Yet most complain until they draw their last breath Now won't you come and listen to me I'll show you things that you never have seen I talk of ignorance, I talk of greed Hear my words if you hunger to be free This begs a question that you should ask What is the trustworthy view through the looking glass Cause all events can be seen from different sides The ones in power decide how they guide Factions are trying to control your thoughts By planting concepts in a clean & tidy box So you should always look between the f’ing lines The absolute truth is hidden by design Now won't you come and listen to me I'll show you things that you never have seen I talk of ignorance, I talk of greed Hear my words if you hunger to be free Volumes have been inspired in our past That offer insight on how to be our best Yet we choose to fight among each other Instead of learning how to create a bright future Love is key, and striving to be A positive part of our society Change is a constant no matter the time of year But higher things are at work so have no fear Now won't you come and listen to me I'll show you things that you never have seen I talk of ignorance, I talk of greed Hear my words if you hunger to be free

When I was a young man absorbing this world A fork emerged in the road What I thought I knew did not ring true My faith was distorting my view The story I’d heard seemed simple and absurd I pondered how far it could go And as the wind blows thoughts arose The questions started to flow Could it be that one man died For everybody’s sins Or we all are ruled by aliens And they have our souls trapped on earth To keep us as their slaves Or is it that consciousness just ends It could be more complex than We can ever fantasize Or life comes from one source But you know every time we think that We have it all figured out, We find we were wrong from square one I’ve found one universal truth is that Between every thought Are infinite possibilities In each instant you decide The way that life proceeds So you can create or destroy If you want to capitalize on this experience Observe what is happening right now Cause the only moment that exists Just slipped into the past So don’t just let another pass you by

Phrases are formed as a sequence of words And countless are frequently heard Which words to choose can be used and abused When people are getting wasted They seem to be sharing stories with me That display the courage they thirst naturally When they are sober They say when I was wasted Remember when I was wasted I was cool when I was wasted In this state of mind fate seems divine And the narrative is aligned With this one time you crossed over the line And got totally wasted If this occurs try to discern Whether this story really needs to be heard Or is it stupid No really this time I got wasted I was seriously wasted I was a fool when I was wasted Now don’t get me wrong as I sing you this song I love a buzz all day long But I stay controlled as I let myself go Even as I get wasted Rolling with new plans, avoiding one night stands Keeping myself safe and away from gangland It’s about choices It’s such a blast to get wasted Right now I am wasted You won't believe what I did When I was wasted When I was wasted When I was wasted When I was wasted

In the realms beyond what we perceive Endure all souls that have been conceived They surround us despite going unseen We’re all connected as we are playing out our scene We all are looking to survive You hold the power to be alive There is a presence on the other side Steering the tide toward a goal worth pride Subtle sparks can be sensed Between our thoughts It’s where the truth lies But awareness can’t be bought We all are looking to survive You hold the power to be alive Being alive forms varied shades Don’t let the colors begin to fade Discover brilliance in the clouded beauty So you can be rapturous and free Choices arrive like the rising sun Or in the shadows cast by the mountains So tune your mind to impressions you may have And ask your heart is this the right path We all are looking to survive You hold the power to be alive

There is a drink that I savor That burns my throat with dazzling flavor It’s not rum, bourbon or whiskey The craving starts when I get thirsty It makes no difference what you say, they taste the same either way It’s Pop or Soda It’s Pop or Soda Your hometown does imply Which term signifies The bubbling bliss that surrounds Your lips and teeth and your tongue It makes no difference what you say, they taste the same either way It’s Pop or Soda It’s Pop or Soda Some people like to criticize And assume they are right but it can go both ways You should not have to rephrase It makes no difference what you say, they taste the same either way It’s Pop or Soda It’s Pop or Soda

Our life begins before we appear We have a purpose for which to persevere So don't miss good things Being controlled by fear Alter your routine so you can steer Toward the dreams you might have forgot You know you know this, so get up and shout Most people want a family to love To choose a partner that will stay in spite of The way we hurt each other When there is no cause At least forgiveness can give us some pause Before we give up on what it’s all about You know you know this, so get up and shout That’s what life is about We see the world through our own set of eyes Our point of view is where the secret lies The core difference between me and you Is our experiences that separate us into Unique perspectives for choosing the best route You know you know this, so get up and shout That’s what life is about
