About Me

Welcome to the real world
where there's nowhere to hide
from the pain and hurt
you've got to take it in stride
You say you've got your big problems
baby, join the club
you won't find the solutions
with a gun or a drug
Inner revolution
shake it up baby
there's something in your life you don't like
you've got the power to change it
You can't fix it with a drug
can't kill it with a gun
inner revolution
that's the way it's done
So welcome to the real world
full of pain and hurt
where there's a million excuses
and you know what they're worth
You say you've got your big problems
like everybody else
you won't find any answers
until you find yourself
Inner revolution
shake it up baby
there's something in your life you don't like
you've got the power to change it
You can't fix it with a drug
can't kill it with a gun
inner revolution
that's the way it's done
When you face yourself
and you look inside
you see there's nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
Inner revolution
you've got to shake up your life
you've got to make it work out
Inner revolution
you've got to do it yourself

My Interests

I know I should feel
welcome here
way up in
the atmosphere but I
am afraid

And if I land on
Earth again
I'll be happy just to
cut my face
while I shave

Now the sky is floating by
but I am not a cloud
and I've decided
I was not designed
to fly

After all, I'm only sand
to irritate the oyster
and to wait
for a pearl

And even though
I must concede
greatness has eluded me
I'd still
miss the world

And I would have regrets
were I to pirouette
inside a metal jet

And I am not prepared
to sprout a pair of wings
and fly...
