I look into the window of my mind.
Reflections of the fears I know I’ve left behind.
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending.
I am on my way…
Can’t stop me now.
And you can do the same.
What have you done today
to make you feel proud?
(It’s never too late to try).
You could be so many people
if you make that break for freedom.
What have you done today
to make you feel proud?

These are the days of the open hand.
They will not be the last.
Look around now.
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers.
This is the year of the hungry man whose place is in the past,
Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses.

The rich declare themselves poor.
And most of us are not sure if we have too much
but we’ll take our chances, because God stopped keeping score.
I guess somewhere along the way
he must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all gods children
Crept out the back door. (more…)
