Smiles All The Way
A song about evolving into someone happy....
I’m shedding off this skin you put me in
Opening up to myself and all that’s within
You’d never guess just how happy I’ve been
The wildflowers are blooming again
Its too long since I’ve held my own hand
Now I’m spinning in circles until I cannot stand dizzy with pleasure in how happy I’ve been
Its good to feel good but its better when your heart feels like its on a warm beach on a distant island with teal waters
And its good to be full but its better to be overflowing with an appreciation of all that you are and…
I’m shedding off the view you’ve skewed of me
Somehow along the way you thought it was OK to change your tone to a dark shade of grey
To engage would only confirm a vision you see
And this interaction is far beneath me
And I’ll forgive what you don’t understand, since you will never know how happy I am
Cause good to be loved, but its better to be understood, honored, appreciated, respected, supported, cared for, listened to, remembered
It’s good to be held, but its better to be squeezed tightly within the arms of admiration of someone who thinks the sun rises and sets with every breath that you make
I’m shedding off the chains that held me down
No one is around anymore but I’m still on the floor where they wanted me to be but from here I can’t see the horizon of my purpose
And it may be hard to stand but its harder to keep falling over myself but this resurrection of heat the fire will lift me up over the waters that I would otherwise drown in, but not today
Cause its good to be achieve but its better when you’re carried away by your ambitions and talents, whims, cravings, longings, dreams and moments in between
Cause its good to be free, but its better when your attached to a purpose that gives you a reason to get out of bed every morning you’re gifted to rise
