“Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I’ll wipe away those bitter tears
I’ll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray
Why worry…”

“Why in the world would anybody put chains on me, yeah?
I’ve paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I’m not happy when I try to fake it, no, ooh
That’s why I’m easy (yeah)
I’m easy like Sunday morning…”

“Wanna move into a fool’s gold room
With my pulse on the animal jewels
Of the rules that you choose to use to get loose
With the luminous moves
Bored of these limits, let me get, let me get it like
Wow
It’s like right now
It’s like wow…”

“And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through
Ch-ch-changes…”

A special kind of awkward. 😂

“Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven’t changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy…”

“Trouble
Oh, trouble can’t you see
You’re eating my heart away
And there’s nothing much left of me…”

“It’s the sound of the rain coming down when you fall asleep
It’s a call from a friend that you love, but never get to see
All the time you can waste tryna chase what you’ll never need
Always comes back around to simple things…”

“You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again…”

“They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
‘Round here…”

“There are people in your life
Who’ve come and gone
They let you down
You know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you, baby
‘Cause life goes on
You keep carryin’ that anger
It’ll eat you up inside, baby…”

“I’m a late bloomer (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I’m a late bloomer (ooh-ooh-ooh)
This is surely true (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It doesn’t matter when you bloom
It matters that you do (ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)…”

“Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one…”

“Why do you build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down? (Let me down)
And mess me around
And then, worst of all (Worst of all)
You never call, baby
When you say you will (Say you will)
But I love you still…”

“Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it’s real, I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day…”

“Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you’re born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry…”

“They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You’ll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair…”

“When we first met
I must admit I fell for you right from the start
Now when we meet
all kinds of things it seems upset the apple cart
Ouch!”

🤷🏽‍♂️ but now you do. 😊❤️

“Shoes on, get up in the morn’
Cup of milk, let’s rock and roll (uh-huh, whoo)
King Kong, kick the drum
Rolling on like a rolling stone…”

“Come on, although you try to discredit
You’ll still never edit
The needle, I’ll thread it
Radically poetic…”

“So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky…”

“Look at the ivy on the old clinging wall
Look at the flowers and the green grass so tall
It’s not a matter of when push comes to shove
It’s just a hour on the wings of a dove
It’s just warm love…”

Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere…”

“Settle down, it’ll all be clear
Don’t pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna make this place your home…”
#comics #home

“Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun…”

“Believe it or not, I’m walkin’ on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin’ away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me…”

“There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are getting so much resistance from behind…”
