While the Moment's Good

While the moment’s good you take what you can
Because the moment might not be so good for long
So you’ve got a tree
It might just be a tree
But if you only see a tree then you’ve got it wrong
You could be showing us who’s not afraid
Or nestle underneath it’s shade
And maybe it’s not perfect but it’s here
So take a chance
The coast is clear
When it’s ripe you’ve got to grab the fruit
Get it while you can
And the rest will follow suit
Maybe it’s not paradise
But for the price you’re getting
Its a deal you knocked up
Knock on wood
You’ve got to grab the moment while the moments good
I don’t think while the moments good is a thing, also I think you might be
mixing your metaphors
I think you might be mixing me up with someone else because my metaphors are
awesome
But the tree is the fruit?
No the moment is the fruit, the tree is the moment, is the fruit
Not important the point is, well for example
Think about the bark
You climb the bark while you embark so the bark therefore is sort of like the
sea
Yeah I hear it
Take the shade
The shade can be an aide for you when you want to unwind here on your own
It’s like an eagle, an eagle who so regally takes you underneath it’s wing and
I’m gonna stop you right there
Yeah that was bad
Look I appreciate the sentiment but this tree is not interesting to me
I get it, it’s some kind of magical palace for your birdwatching
Birds can’t afford palaces now who’s not making any sense
Not the point
No the point is
It might be hard to understand
It might be slightly a little less grander than all the things you dreamed that
you would do
But it’s just today
Embrace what’s here in front of you
Getting there on the first try can be hard
Stealing back and look for something right there in your yard
Take it in discrete steps
Pace yourself with easy street steps
Let yourself be less than you think you should
Nope not what I meant
You got to take the moment while the moments good
I just want to watch the birds go by
Sitting underneath this giant Douglas fir
Warrior girl sets out on her expedition
Warrior girl climbs the tallest oak
Or whatever it is
She looks over roof tops from her high altitude position and she floats in the
wind
I want to watch them fly and fly so long as I can get away from her
Wait what did you just say?
If I could get a word in
Then I would say
That there’s a way that both of you could find a common ground
While the moments good
You can take this opportunity, to talk it out
So maybe you’ll both come around
Sorry for that thing I said
It’s ok let’s hang out by this tree
Just you and me and then this other guy
I’m so glad that I could help
Three, four
It might be just a lonely stage right elm
Or whatever it is
But it could be a quiet spot to read
Or something less silly like the helm of a pirate ship or a bridge that sits
right up into the sky
That sits right up into the sky
It’s a small dream but it could be just as good
You got to grab the moment while the moments good
