Mother Earth shines in her beauty
Her makeup being the meadow green
The mountain tops keep her shapely
She pulls her tears from out the sea

Mother Earth brightens every morning
As the sun shines on her cheeks
The massive valleys of the desert
Only add to her physique

Mother Earth's hair blows ever gently
In the coolness of the breeze
Keeps her warm in winter, cool in summer
The way she styles her Northern trees

Mother Earth has held her age well
As Father Time's been good to her
With Springs cover she's looking younger
That's the beauty of Mother Earth

Oh how I really miss
Can someone tell me where it is
Of course I'm talking Common Sense
Can't help but wonder where it went

I keep looking high and low
Everywhere it is I go
I'm sure it feels lost and alone
Common Sense would you please come home

You've ventured too far from this place
Gone for far too many days
If you could just make your way
Back to us for an extended stay

This time we'll show you more respect
If that's the reason why you left
Without your help we've made a mess
Come on, what do you say Common Sense

every second

of every minute

of every single day

i'm hanging onto sanity (reality)

as fragile as i can

she kept it all from us
she kept it all well hide
but once we all found out
what she had and what it did
it popped all of our tops
blew off all our lids
no one could have even guessed
she has a thingamajig

we called the t.v. stations
we called up the cops
when we heard what she had
and how much that it cost
half the town said no way
the other half said it's a must
when we all sat down and saw
what it was and what it does

it brought us all together
it gave us all a lift
lovers, friends and neighbors
now never would they miss
every other saturday
with picnic basket and the kids
all head down to central park
and watch her with her thingamajig

with no need to start it up
it's always on the go
though it may seem odd at times
there's always an even flow
no one saw this coming
no one could have known
nor would they believe it
if they hadn't seen it on there own

it keeps breaking all the records
like it's nobody's biz
bringing together the left and right
where all they now do is hug and kiss
never in a million years
would i ever thought it'd come to this
and all because we all found out
she has a thingamajig

Searching the valleys and peaks of this world, I've come across a vision so pure and yet so passive that the love streams from every pore of my being, can you embrace the positive as I close in to welcome you to my heart, feeling faint and cluttered with compassionate togetherness, I feel myself becoming more open to accepting the journey of love.

Empowering the foundation that holds steady before us we begin to open one an-others eyes, for this is why my tears of happiness continues to tare down the walls of my own disguise, involving the purification of combining those who can hold onto the light is an experience that I've once grasped.

Now and forever, I feel home again.
Without darkness
Without deception

Within my spirit, my wings are soon to spread.
