sing-songs

this is the song that never ends...yes it goes on and on my friends...some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, but they'll just keep on singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends...

Take a minute

Just slow down, you're walking a little too fast
Take a breath, see the beauty in the breakdown
Close your eyes, try to stay as still as you can
Come around to another sense of being

Like the snow gathers on the branches
Of a lonely tree,
On a cold winter's day
I'll stay,
Solid and firm
By you, waiting for the seconds,
The hours pass you by, until you pause and take it in

Take a minute, take a lifetime
To enjoy and feel
Something real
Take a break from the chaos, the madness
That is your life, that consumes you over and over again
Until you take a minute or two

Just hold on, I'm finding it hard to keep up
Sometimes, see the beauty that surrounds you
Open your heart to the possibilities that lie ahead
Don't leave your spirit dead behind

When you feel exhausted
You can't go on,
It's time to relinquish control
Let life unfold
On it's own terms
And just let go

You're clutching to your sanity
As if it'll slip away
From your fingers,
So you pray
To a deity that lingers
Collecting your sins and counting your mistakes
Hoping you lose the ability to tell what's real and what's fake

Take a minute, take a lifetime
To enjoy and feel
Something real
Take a break from the chaos, the madness
That is your life, that consumes you over and over again
Until you take a minute or two
