Sycamore

Ever close your eyes
ever stop and listen
ever feel alive
and you've nothing missing
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on

Let the rain fall down
everywhere around you
give into it now
let the day surround you
you don't need a reason
let the rain go on and on

Only take the time
from the helter skelter
every day you find
everything's in kilter
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on

Every summer sun
every winter evening
every spring to come
every autumn leaving
you don't need a reason
let it all go on and on


All the pain of my life, all the angst and sadness and moldy melancholy madness that was creeping up my spine is GONE
and now I can see the brighter side
the happier side because all I was seeing was the darker half
and that's not a good way to live
and even if it doesn't work out
and even if i sink back to where i was
i'm gonna remember this and smile
because it's joy
it's like when somebody dies, except the polar opposite.
you keep remembering it and it makes you happy
it makes everything worrying you go away
and the rain is falling gently
like the world's kissing me
and I feel loved and I feel known and special and
I don't know why I haven't seen this before
but God or Yahweh or Shiva or Nature or the Dao or Buddha
I love the world
I love life
I love me

and all is good.
