The Fools Journey (is the Love Song)

Never doubt the power, the potential
For good in the human spirit
I wish you could, I wish you could
Trust me on this one
Trust me to listen, listen to me
I got some knowledge that maybe you cannot see
Please never doubt the potential of the human spirit
To feel like
Caring, truly, touching, kind, loving
Gotta get near it
This is the good, good spirit
Let me help you see it
Let me help you know it
It's here
It's around
It wants you to know it
To know it

Every time the earth gives birth
To a new little flower
Whatever size, color, shape
I want you to understand in that magic
There is a chance for you
To have an escape
From your bad thoughts
Your racing mind
Please please try try to be kind

I really understand why you have so much on your mind
But you must also see the beauty
I am painting for you
With my words right now
I wish so badly to be with you
Right now
That would actually really help me out

I guess this is a selfish song
My selfish song that I sing to you
Try to share with you my feelings
That you are not wrong
What you're feeling
But you might be revealing
If you're not concealing

Come near me
Come lay down on me
Weight on me, on my chest
I can handle it, weight of love on my chest
Cuz it feels like the best
The best

Never doubt the power of the human spirit
The human heart
It grows, it grows, it grows
You have been told the other story
The one that says we are all bad, sad, bad people
Bad people, bad hearts
But that's not the best place to start
This conversation

Yes it's true we are a damned nation
A very damned nation
And our history is a terrible one
That I'll never be able to know what to do with
It's all wreckage
We had slavery for way too long
It's happening still everywhere
Genocide was the foundation to your little experiment
In what you call democracy
But it's not democracy
It's corporations
You know what I mean
You see it my way

The most important thing
Is that you know I pray for your spirit
To feel lighter, brighter, nearer, dearer
I wish I could put my arms around you
And let you know it's gonna be OK
Little lost child
On the highway

I started walking backwards outta town
I had two little dogs at my feet
I didn't have anyone else around
The man I loved was missing
The woman I loved was kissing
Someone else
It's OK
I gotta go be on my own
Be on my own way

It's time
To go find the sun
And settle down with someone
Someone's out there
That's what they tell me
Someone's out there for me
Today

I've had many beautiful people in my heart
I hold them all so dear
I feel I've been blessed
If I died today
I wouldn't have to take another test
It was all blessed

Maybe I wished I saw my family a little more
A little more stable financially

It'll all be OK
Lost cowboy
Lost cowgirl
Every rainbow is written for you

I am who I am and I am not what I can never be
It's been dragged for all of my eternity
Dont you worry
I feel not happy and happy all the time
Not able to really read or write
But definitely able to rhyme
And thats what I do with my time

Hopefully I get to express something to you
That helps you on your way
Helps you on your way
Trust me if you could I would
If you should I would
If you were here there everywhere

I would serenade you
It's just what I do
I'd let you feel something brand new
Brand new to you

Here we go again I fall in love with the person who needs so much help
Here we go again I fall in love with the person who is broken
Just like me
We are broken family
Broken family
You are broken just like me

But I want to go up up up
Not down down down
Fly around like an eagle in the sky
This is how I talk
Talk in rhymes
This is how I get through my life

It's like I am braiding stories together
For years and years
Making rugs and rugs
Everything beautiful
I would if I could
I did I didn't
I dont know where you went
Are you just sitting there on the fence?
Just a few miles from my house

I cant believe my luck
I meet someone I like
Then he tells me he is just a weirdo

What about all the women of my heart
You know they are there
They take a starring part
But right now I have a funny itch
For a funny feeling
For someone I found a few weeks ago

I hope one day you hear this song
ANd it makes you feel like you have a heart worth sharing
You are caring, sharing
You are beautiful
How many other ways do I have to say it?

Hold on tight to your rainbow
When you get the blues
Hold on tight to your pocket knife
To cut loose the noose
Hold onto your shortwave radio
Tuned to the milky way vibration

Who knows
If its the fools journey I am on
Why not sing another love song?
If its the fools journey I am on
Why not keep singing my love songs?
One day it'll come true
I know i know i know i know
I have the proof
