Souls Like Fireflies

I try to keep in mind that my soul’s in rhyme
with the world around me everlasting time.
People try to tell me that I don’t belong,
when I've felt that way since the day I was born.

That’s OK. I live my life my own way.
I don’t care what they've got to say.
You can keep that blissful ignorance
I'll push passed it with a perseverance.

What do you think that you've got on this?
I get by with a copacetic-ness.
That is my own form of bliss,
and it sure beats the hell out of lack of sense.

Well, I don’t know what’s come over me.
What you get is not what you seek.
You can search for eternity endlessly,
but that life in now and forever over to me.

Lift your head up, wake up now.
Breathe in the surroundings of this new cloud.
We've lifted ourselves up,
somehow, to higher heights.
We'll never have to come back down

Keep it in your soul that your mind’s enrolled
with the world around you.
You’ve got to pay the toll.
You can feel the warmth that's jumping up from your toes.
The light will grow brighter with internal glow

Your soul will feel like a firefly.
Make a wish and then watch it fly by
through the peripheral of your third-eye.
Make a wish and then do, please, aim high.

Words of remembrance from a time that I once knew.
I hadn't a clue what I was supposed to do.
"Fill me up." I said, "Lift me up, because
I ain't going down with an empty cup.
Your life-line can be a part of mine.
We'll share the water, share the wine.
It's going down anytime,
so let's jump ship and leave this world behind.
