i said what i said
believe it or not
ideas swirl round my head
long before they are caught

one might slip in its dip
making little sense
before you know, there you go
another follows it

flying through fiery hoops
skedaddle de do
this is as old as it is new
may the farce be with you

take it with a grain of salt
before you pepper it
with the thing you ought not
adding to the mix

are you ahead of the times
or do you tend to lag
be the string that holds the kite
to the tail that steady's it

jumping through fiery hoops
skedaddle de do
i think a ***** is coming loose
may the farce be with you

Like the time before this
And the time before that
Will we do it again
Don't make me laugh

Double or nothing
On the nothing we have
Want to hear something
Here we go again

You can lean to the left
Or rumba to the right
Doesn't much matter
In how you choose sides

You can dip your toe in
The slightest tidbit
If truth be known
Here we go again

There's nothing new
Still without a clue
Of what we have done
And are soon to do

We'll buy the whole farm
From beginning to end
Sound the alarm
Here we go again

There's a failure to acknowledge failure
In this prideful world of today
To admit you were wrong, change it up then move on
And not be stuck in that single mind state

Not a soul here has their act together
If you must know the truth
Some just fake it better than others
Something I have yet learned how to do

But I do acknowledge when I've done something wrong
And try my best to learn from it
Every time that I fall, get up dust myself off
Then try not to do it again

Have we not seen throughout history
That failure can be a learning curve
When you see what went wrong, make a U-turn
Leaving it far behind in the dirt

Instead of having it on steady repeat
To do it over and over again
What do they say about insanity
Expecting it to work out in the end

I'm not saying to embrace the failure
Just acknowledge that it's there
When you slip from the trip quickly get over it
In this game we play of truth or dare
Failure is everywhere

Be who you want to be
Whoever you are
Say what you feel you need
Whoever you are
Follow along happily
Or gladly take the lead
Free to be free
Whoever you are

Be a part of society
Whatever you think
Voice your opinion out loudly
Whatever you think
But in fairness to the game
Allow others to do the same
At times show a little refrain
Whatever you think

Be a shining light
Wherever you are
A sign of the times
Wherever you are
Be someone who
Someone out there can turn to
Be the authentic you
Wherever you are

Try and get along
Whenever you can
Do your best to right the wrongs
Whenever you can
Hold compassion in your hand
Then shake as many hands as you can
Calling everyone your friend
Whenever you can

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
These are the three
I need the most
With them at the helm
I am able to cope
A smidgen of faith
A handful of hope
Throughout the day
I am never alone
With the three
I need the most
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Do you remember
Our younger days
We had so much
To give away
Now here we are
With little left
Do you my dear
Remember that
When we had
No secrets kept

Open to
What came of life
Not a one of us
Picked a side
Do you remember
What that was like
When we thought we lived
In paradise
Before the darkness
Came to light

Took ahold
The stories told
Knew that we
Could change the world
Where did it go
Where have we been
Do you my dear
Remember when
We were good
At remembering

Here one minute
Gone the next
From what you were
To nothing left
All except
The memory
That too soon
Will also leave

Every picture
Of you will fade
Until they're finally
Thrown away
No one remembers
Your look, your name
Gone out as fast
As you came in

Here one minute
Then out of sight
Thought you'd win it
Not this time
When you stood up
Life knocked you down
Better luck
Next go around
