“The Letter to and from Paradise” I walk across the sand Past the coconut shack. I walk until the water Just grabs my lower back. And I release my green bottle Into the tide, As I make sure the note stays Adequately dry. And I hope with all I hope for That someone finds this letter, Maybe a good child, a dreamer unfettered. And I shoot with all I aim for, To change a life with problems, Cause mine are so obsolete That I don’t even solve them. And I scream with my lung capacity Imagine all I’m imagining And free myself so willfully Just so I can see a brand new day. He flew above the clouds, Past the choir and church bells, Because his friend is going through What we call ‘a living hell’. So he asked God if he could Have a leave of absence, Since his friend was in trouble And called for some guidance. And I hope with all I hope for That someone finds this letter, Maybe a good child, a dreamer unfettered. And I shoot with all I aim for, To change a life with problems, Cause mine are so obsolete That I don’t even solve them. And I scream with my lung capacity Imagine all I’m imagining And free myself so willfully Just so I can see a brand new day. Past the whales, and the sharks, And the raging hurricanes, A goofy voice in my heart said, “It made it over here okay.” And I hope with all I hope for That someone finds this letter, Maybe a good child, a dreamer unfettered. And I shoot with all I aim for, To change a life with problems, Cause mine are so obsolete That I don’t even solve them. And I scream with my lung capacity Imagine all I’m imagining And free myself so willfully Just so I can see a brand new day. And I hope with all I hope for That someone finds this letter, Maybe a good child, a dreamer unfettered. And I shoot with all I aim for, To change a life with problems, Cause mine are so obsolete That I don’t even solve them. And I scream with my lung capacity Imagine all I’m imagining And free myself so willfully Just so I can see a brand new day. I hope my changes are worth changing my life for. I want to be better now, how I held myself before. |
