Eastbound

What is time?

Is it the autumn leaves that change?

Or the snow that floats from the sky

What is Time?

Is it the air we breathe?

Or the wings that teach

The new born bird to fly

Who can tell?

I don't know

Will we change?

Will we grow?

What is time?

Is it eternity

In heaven

Or just a hope for peace on earth

Where's the time

Gone in a blink of an eye

But with every blink

A birth

We live

We learn

We love

In time

We give

We urn

We grow

In time

Time for change

Its time to care

It's not too late

Don't despair

Reach inside your heart

To find the joy and love

To share with all mankind

For all we know

All we have is time

You don't want to see me anymore

You can't listen to me laugh out loud

You don't wanna see me dance

You can't even take the chance

That it might reflect on you

You missed out on the best part of me

The part that made me who I am today

Oh, but the best part of me is standing in front of you

And loves you anyway

Hold me in your heart till you understand

Hold me in your heart just the way that I am

With all your faults, I love you

Don't give up, on me

I won't give up, on you

Well you took my hand, taught me how to be strong

That's where I picked up when we went all wrong

I know that I hurt you, and you hurt me too

But you mean more to me, I must mean more to you

Hold me in your heart till you understand

Hold me in your heart just the way that I am

With all your faults I love you

I need you to love me that way too

When I was just a kid

everything I did, was to be like him

under my skin

My father always thought,

if I was strong and fought

not like some albatross, I'd begin

to fit in

Look at me powerless and holding my breath

trying hard to repress what scared him to death

It was never easy to be his type of man

to breathe freely was not in his plan

and the best part of me

is what he wouldn't see

I'm not my fathers son

I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job,

still couldn't be the one

to echo what he'd done

and mirror what was not in me

So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape

maybe I went to extremes of leather and lace,

but the world seems brighter six inches off the ground

and the air seemed lighter

I was profound and I felt so proud

just to live out loud

I'm not my fathers son

I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job,

still couldn't be the one

to echo what he'd done

and mirror what was not in me

The endless story of expectations swirling inside my mind wore me down

I came to a realization and I finally turned around to see that I could just be me

I'm not my fathers son

I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job,

still couldn't be the one

to echo what he'd done

and mirror what was not in me

Sunday, by the blue, purple, yellow, red water

On the green, purple, yellow, red grass

Let us pass through our perfect park

Pausing on a Sunday

By the cool, blue, triangular water

On the soft, green, elliptical grass

As we pass through arrangements of shadows

Towards the verticals of trees, forever

By the blue, purple, yellow, red water

On the green, orange, violet mass of the grass

In our perfect park, made of flecks of light

And dark and parasols

People strolling through the trees

Of a small suburban park

On an island in the river

On an ordinary Sunday

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad

But the world goes 'round

Sometimes you lose every nickel you had

But the world goes 'round

Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces

But that doesn't alter a thing

Take it from me, there's still gonna be

A summer, a winter, a fall and a spring

And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad

But the world goes 'round

And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound

Somebody loses and somebody wins

Then one day it's kicks, then it's kicks in the shins

But the planet spins, and the world goes 'round

And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

The world goes 'round and 'round and 'round

And 'round!
