I like to thank night soul woman for getting me back here, it's been too long!!!


It's been a while huh?



Where do I begin?,
The day my computer crashed when I went out for coffee,
The day I finally got a job doing something besides cooking,
Or when I finally realized that bottom did drop out,

I fought through blood sweat and tears,
Just to get where I am today,
And yet I feel I only moved an inch,
But hey, at least I moved,
I have fear in me, but I still have to do what I have to do,

And yet I feel the inch,
I saw the greed,
And I realize the truth,
Greed is something that you can never fill,
You're always on the race,
To keep one step up,
But even the greatest fall,
And the rubble is all around,
But will we learn?,
Will we learn?,

At last,
We see the lie exposed,
And here we are, naked,
Before ourselves and the truth,
But keep your head up and your fingers down,
Because it took two to dance on this dancefloor of the joneses,
And now we all have to do,
Is to be the people we really are,
Honest, caring, willing to do the right thing,
No matter what,
Something I've learned dealing with credit cards,

Debt comes in all shapes and forms,
More than money, but within ourselves,
It's the war between morals, laws and emotions,
When there is two people on the phone talking,
And the words "time's up" are on the walls,

As for love,
I'm hungry for it, but I'm patient with it,
I earn that right, the hard way,
Yeah, saga grew up,
The interest is being with someone,
Not being the long-standing member of the,
Brotherhood of Travelling Pants,

Here's the big one,
I think everyone knows that something special happened in America,
We woke up and made history,
They call it the United States of America for a reason,
You can't talk about unity,
When you preaching diversity,

Do I fear for the future, yeah,
But it is always will be one day at a time,
The sun does rises before it sets,
The greatest power we all have is each other,
And the willingness to survive,
No matter what,

It is what it is,
Good to be back,

The dancer moves without a trace,
