Leap of Faith

Leap of faith

All these times we let love pass us by
We have words to say and let them slip away
For each new trip we seem to find it
Just to make up another distance excuse behind it
To the men in this society I say grow a pair
Jump off a cliff then climb it
If you try a few times you’ll find it
Here, there anywhere….. You’ll see
Or at least create a few memories
Listen to the bum bum beat of your heart drum lace pulled tight round the shell of a chest

For once be your better best. Better than all the rest go say hell if I care if I pass this test

All these times we let love pass us by
We choose to excuse ourselves
In turn we abuse ourselves in heart induced comas sign the dotted line so we can perform this heart reduction
For you with our self-reliance on OxyContin medical marijuana drugs release of responsibility in our government which you hold true

But where is the love
Where is the love
And where should it be

If you ask me we need to prioritize
Try something new on for size
Men woman other types
Love is the word ya heard
So instead of this crazy love for government corrupted young minds thy hear thiss
Love another take a jump hug a tree
A dog a car a person regardless of their make model or interior
Let love take you over with one chance one humble hello
That’s all it takes
A leap of
Faith.

thank you very much.... I really feel that all to often we are not that honest with our selves and we make excuses
