Sophia

Let the smell of rain take me back to a child
Standing in that garage watching it all come down
Its like you know in those moments you’ll never be back to now
Melancholy droplets falling like a comedown
You come down off the adolescence into the shame
And break through with some knowledge and some sense in the game
But ignorance is bliss
See a small room turn into a dark abyss
Watch me go but I ain’t fallin
I do this so often
The clouds callin
The clouds callin
The world is surrounded by love encasing beauty
The beauty that I see in a girl named Julie
Or a man called Rudy or Judy or Lucy Ruby
Or Barry or Larry
And Shari you a star
My boy sugar out in Vegas practicing the arts
We’re a hard working people
A hard working planet
That we form
Even evil
Some can’t command it
And no I won’t back down
Standing on my soapbox
Emerge so proud
Feel the water on my skin
Feel so alive shed my outer self from in
A child they can grasp what a man may comprehend but a man’s comprehension must
be found from deep within
Known beyond sin past the passion of the alibi
For he was just a guidance sent to aid you in the after life
So take it and run
When life gives you lemons don’t just sell them for funds
That lemon has a seed that’s a thought that can grow
A seed plants a tree but just one kind so know
Your life’s filled with seeds and you reap what you sow
Like God damn
Why not grow what you owe
Give it back to the people
Show that you’re bout the growth
We’re a misguided youth but we’re keeping our composure
Taught that happiness is classes and closure
From closing the door on our dreams for a poster or a plaque on the wall saying
look kid you passed hope you get through next fall
But what is a negative if there’s no plus in the past
Knowing that you will be stronger if you have to walk the path
Of the pain and distortion from learning your motives and knowin what the goal
is
Now I yearn and they tell me you go kid
