you go up
you go down
like a swing set
up and down
see things differently every time up on the swing set
life is different every time you look at it
fall off the swing set, it hurts
life gets you down, it hurts
but you get back on the swing set
get back up for life
jump off the swingset
you fly
you're free
if you jump in life
you fly
you're free
with swing sets you land
with that...

Lullaby of the Restless

moonlight splaying over an empty bed
up and roaming, the restless do not sleep
slip out of bed, the restless are awake

the thoughts bouncing around their minds
can not decide, too many thoughts
when will they be still?

the sun rises
the restless are still awake
waiting for their thoughts to be still

the restless do not sleep
sing the lullaby of the restless
...

when i was little
i used to be happy
i was me
then a time came
everyone was growing up
but they left me behind
in the dust, confused
the next year
i found a friend
discovered an old friend
the next year
i wasnt the quiet, funnyish girl everyone had known
i was different
what had changed?
it was the anniversay.
5 years
the same grade
thats what changed
i found new friends...

sorrow less
smiles are blooming
spring is here
happiness is here
finally
the winter brought pain
the pain is melting away
warmth is seeping
into everywhere
onto cheeks
in the air
its everywhere
heart rejoice
the music
its playing everywhere
listen to it play
its so beautiful
revel in it
make it last
