Take ME Away

"Pardon Me, I'm a daydreamer; I keep my head in the clouds. Life's still beautiful, i'm a believer; to hell with the bullshit-baby make me smile: Cause life should be an after party, and love should be a sweet champagne..."
Teedra Moses "Take it Away"

Loving life makes living that much better
but living just makes you here
Understanding what life can be
Appreciating the present

Moment to moment
More precious than the last
Staying in the fast lane
Destined to run outta gas

Riding to the left doesn't mean
You know where you wanna go
it just means that you know where you're at isn't
where you wanna be
But you zoom zoom anyway

I hang back,
Wait for my inspiration
Them I'm gone with the wind
ready for my destination


The quoted lyrics at the top of the page are from a song by Teedra Moses on her latest mixtape. I fell in love with it the instant I heard it. The emotion mixed in the the eloquent expression in this short 1 minute and a few ticks track make my day. I've started listening to it every morning either before or after my bible reading. It just makes me feel like living my life in a way that's going to make me healthy and happy!!

Politically "IN" Correct

Caught up in the artificial
Slowly changing my thoughts from surreal to superficial
Trying to stay in stride chasing the Joneses
Losing a bit of me everyday slowly-but I don't even know it

Living life more like I'm part of a mirage
Politically IN, correct focusing of all the faux pas
Now I pause, re-connect, recollect wondering who I am
Trying to find her, but it's just footprints in the sand

Now I realize
Back to the middle is where I need to stand
