Baby Don't Fight It

Bubble gum ice cream and sweet chocolate sundaes

Blue skies and warm breezes, sun induced sneezes

It's in every flower petal and in every song

It's the beginning, center, and end

It's in the excited shouts of children

"Again! Let's do it again!"

It's just fear that has you doubting and wondering why

It's the fear that keeps you crying all through the night

But the fear can't hurt you; it's not even real

The fear is a figment of screwed up ideals

Passed on from the father and mother so dear

Whispered with upside down love into your ear

Warnings of demons that do not exist

Warnings of failures if you dare follow your bliss

You are eternal my beautiful one

You dazzle them all as you stand in the sun

With your big heart and your great big dreams

The time is now to go follow those dreams!

Baby, don't fight it!

It's all you've ever wanted and more!

This love affair with me, your life

This life that you secretly adore

Shout it from the rooftops now!

Don't let another second go by!

Shout it so they hear you roar and let them wonder why

How can you be so thrilled with no car, no job, no prospects in view?

Know this dear one; they are far worse off than you

All they have is their made up security against their made up fears

Think of it this way

Who owns the skies, and the lakes and the streams that flow by?

They'll say they own them as they point out their satellites

Then they'll try to 'prove' it with battles and high flying flags

But just ask them to move it and see if they can

They can't move it, not one little inch

Don't be angry though, Dear

They know not what they do

Instead show them the way and let them follow you

Give me all your PDA as you love all I do and all I say

Tell me your grateful for all that you have

The sun, moon, and stars and every puppy tail wag

Follow where I lead you into the light

Follow even though they say don't go at night

There's nothing that can happen that I didn't see coming

This is why you're here now to slow down their running

To get them to pause and feel their breath moving

To see that each breath is the universe singing

To get them to join this magical song

As we sing it together, on purpose, all this life long
