I just want to lay in the grass.
I think as I sit and await my next class
I just want to lay in the grass.

I woke up this morning, got dressed and brushed my teeth
For breakfast I fixed eggs and asparagus to eat
I sat down in my car and I drove off to class
I just want to lay in the grass.

The sun is out and beaming, the sky is blue and clear, beckoning and calling me, so subtle and sincere
After class I'm off to work to sit down yet again
I think this thought, I sigh and bring my fist beneath my chin
I just want to lay in the grass.

At 5:00 I'll stand and I'll sit back down once more
To sit and drive in traffic is this what this life is for?
I just want to lay in the grass.

2 minutes come and 2 minutes pass.

I did it. I broke. I'm laying in the grass.
Not worrying where I am or what may come to pass
I'm doing what I needed. I've made the perfect choice
I close my eyes with peace, and exhale pure rejoice
I'm smiling as I lay here, I've found a happy place
A tender strip of meadow, among this knowledge base
To my right there is a parking lot, asphalt and then this grass
To my left a narrow sidewalk, below towering glass
I lay here free of worry, under a breezy tree
While in the shade I feel the sun through branches down on me
Then a student passing, does turn to me and say
"you look so nice and relaxed there, I'm trying that today"
I smiled and said " You should!"
And that's because it's true.
May your heart be that that leads you as to what you need to do.
