lyrics

--Oh, That's Right….I'm Alive--

Yeah, so i think what happened was, i got a bit wrapped up….wrapped up in the thought of lives as whole, completed entities… their perceived worth and validation being in relation to the values and standards and burdens of others who came before…a thought not within this life's current moment, but a projection from the now, upon the extended states of being, focused on the past and future, near and distant….and the sum of all those parts. Though these factors warrant a great deal of distracting, consistent consideration, one of the more simple, vital, basic facts about this whole situation, is that you're a conscious receptor of this glorious world. Ya gotta remind yourself of it, and realize once again, while singing……

Oh, that's right…I'm Alive

When I see those sights, of which there ain't no words to describe,
I silently speak, with my own two eyes

Oh, that's right…I'm Alive

The cumulative scent of the city, sent out upon, the autumn air,
comes to my window and sweeps into my lair….

I ride on by,
Dan's ghostbike,
I flash a peace sign
I ride on by,
the WTC,
I flash a peace sign

Oh, that's right…I'm Alive

I sit in silence, eyes closed,
and become one with my body…starting from my fingertips and toes

Oh, that's right…I'm Alive

Open your eyes and wide as you can, and inhale through your nose as deep as you can,
place your warm hand on your chest and feel your heart beat….
ain't it sweet…..

I ride on by,
our old two windows,
now aglow with the light of another,
But the light we shared,
with shine on without compare,
I blow you a kiss through the shit,
I blow you a kiss through the shit,
I blow you a kiss through the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

As all of existence is nuzzled up beside me,
I know I've got nothing to fear,
because I'm there with it….
