~ Born Again ~

Open your heart up to the world
You know you want to let that light flow inside
To awaken your inner world with colour
Radiating through your body.

It’s time for your life to really begin
You can keep hiding from it
And many do their whole lives
But these days I know you’ve been longing
To feel that energy surge through you
As your eyes meet the dawn
And the starry dance of the cosmos
Can be seen in your smile.

Write your words
Climb your mountains
Drive down the highways
That will take you somewhere
Where your days will have renewed
Passion and purpose.

Let the world invite you forward
And leap into its possibility
As your story becomes richer
Each moment so much more vivid
That heart once again full
Of childhood joy and curiosity.

You know, I once met a man
Who wanted to kill himself
Before he did that, he thought
He’d blow all his money
On a final trip in Mexico
He flew to that country
Ate tacos, drank beer
Made new friends
Surfed the waves
And watched the sunsets
On the pacific ocean
And finally he decided
That his story wasn’t over.

Finally he decided that there was still joy in life
By just changing his attitude and expectations
And by screwing up the story
He had written on a piece of paper
That wasn’t really himself
Just a tired old narrative
That was in need of a new chapter.

There’s light in this world
There will always be light in this world
If only we open ourselves up to it
Each day is a new birth is possible
Should we learn to be a bit more destructive
Breaking down those self-made walls
Which have constricted our view
Of an all too beautiful world
That is aching for us to experience it

That is aching for us
To take that trip

That is aching for us
To be born again.
