I was trapped on an island of isolation
I had nothing to do but play guitar and wait
I could only hope that my dad wouldn't say any more bad puns
Sadly bad puns are kind of a family trait

I was just wondering when the rain would stop coming down
When it would stop pounding over our heads
Tropical storm Nate was the cause of all the frowns
It left all of our stuff slightly wet

However, one day the rains finally stopped
And the sun started to shine through
We stopped having to use a mop
To clean up the morning dew

This experience really educated me
It showed me how privileged I am
It helped to show me how to live simply
It made my perspective on life go BLAM

You need to be saved
you have sinned beyond belief
you need to learn how to behave
before you drift out beyond the reef

Why won't you listen
Why don't you care
Why don't you understand
What is happening in here?

Sitting in silence
just listening to the birds
then old thoughts start to crawl in
that make me feel hurt

Sitting in silence
lets me reflect about myself
It lets me get a big hit
out of what I did when people tried to help

War
Violence
****

These are just 3 of the main problems
that are present in
our current global landscape

Why do we still write on paper
when we have computers and phones
why do we hold on the what's old
instead of embracing what's new
Why do we find it so necessary
to remember what's in the past
Why can't we just let it go
and embrace the new color hues

Some people
may try to shield us from the real world
they may try to not let us know
the dangers that the world holds
