My family planed an intervention
On mine and their behalf
They see what I am doing and the trouble that's brewing
With the problem that I have

Seems no matter where it is I go
The gym, the bank, the grocery store
I look for opportunities
To make some sort of joke

And it kind of makes them nervous
When they hang around with me
As they see my mind a-itching and my eyes begin a-twitching
Looking for someone to listen as I begin to speak

They take me by the hand, with the nodding of their heads
In a frantic back and forth motion
Saying now's not the time to be the funny guy
Apparently my family is all knowing

But I really can not help myself
With my long list of funny sayings
Still I will bite my tongue till another chance comes along
To say something hilariously amazing

Of course I sometimes realize
What I find funny in my noggin
Once it hits the air is like barbed wire underwear
And deserves a good old fashion flogging

That's why I'm now sitting in this room
With the intervention on my behalf
As they explain what I am doing and the trouble it's brewing
This little problem that I  have...

Now we wait
for the whisper in the universe
the voice to transcend all other sounds

We hush to hear the message
Someone will speak to us
Someone's voice will embrace us
in our darkest night of despair

Time has ceased
All creatures of the earth are still
The birds are sleeping
The fish are at rest
All seas are calm, undisturbed
All warriors have replaced their weapons
with prayers and thoughts of peace
The glittering components
of all the celestial galaxies
are in perfect alignment
All of the people in the world
have gathered
hopeful, longing
lingering on the edge of possibility
anxious to find
the majesty of forgiveness
the mystery of our purpose
the meaning of our lives

Everything in place
Everyone waiting for
the whisper
in the universe

I will cherish my past
You were a part of it
A segment in my journey
And for that while
You made me crazy
You made me happy
So I won't ruin who you were to me
But who you are now
Is a disgrace to who you were
And I don't like you now
But I will push through this
With dignity and courage
To respect MY memories
Because I am important to ME
You helped me learn this
Whoever you become is up to you
I won't change because of you
