It takes a lot

But it doesn’t feel like much

To squeeze through the gates of time

Unseen

To stand like a stowaway 

On a cosmic Mayflower 

A rose on the wallpaper 

At the big dance

A fly on the wall 

On opening night of the big screen

“What if?”

Is an endless possibility 

To see a way

And say

“Right now,

I’m going through!”

And like a dream

Or the view from a body cam

Watch it unfold in real time 

And be available 

To live 

To exist as Pure Love

On this planet

Without condition

Or certificate of forfeiture 

And still be ever true to you and to my own true nature 

To feel like a kid 

Who’s buttoned his shirt up wrong

And know

It doesn’t matter 

I wouldn’t cheat you

Or do you wrong 

This is a song about

Allowing someone to help you

Remove 

All those wet blankets

You feel weighing heavy on you

This is a song about wanting to be great

And willing to wait forever 

To do it the right way

Like a kid who’s buttoned his shirt up wrong 

On picture day

But also knows 

Without a doubt 

It doesn’t really matter
