I know you see
Just what it is that you do to me
Put me through hell, but I bounce right back
I know you’re free
To give me just what you think I need
But you will see that i’ll stay on track
As I wake up…with the morning haze
I realign my mind to shake off the daze
Don’t wanna think about the bad shit, cos it plays
On emotions crazy, for days and days
…I’d rather float high and drift away
To survey my life and skip through the fray
Cos right now…I wanna celebrate life
Postpone my thoughts on the world’s strife
It’s crucial to take time out to breathe
Or else a buildup can make us seethe
…A shift in thought is just whats needed
Look into my eyes, you can see that I meant it
I’m unencumbered, I feel a hundred
Percent cos my bad thoughts days are numbered
And yes I know…they’ll be here again
But that’s cool…because I’ve made amends
I know you see
Just what it is that you do to me
Put me through hell, but I bounce right back
I know you’re free
To give me just what you think I need
But you will see that i’ll stay on track
The meaning of life is experience
All paths lead there…but there’s interference
We’re knocked off track but we bounce right back
With wisdom; we learn how best to act
We’re a multi-dimensional being
Having a human experience it seems
But if we break it down…spin it round and round
We can achieve all of our dreams
Life’s there to master…but to ascend faster
We gotta learn lessons to avoid disaster
Or else we’re served what we deserve
Over and over…til we have learned
Where this journey takes us is up to us
How strong it makes us, we can only trust
That the path laid out will serve us best
With what we need so we can pass the test
I know you see
Just what it is that you do to me
Put me through hell, but I bounce right back
I know you’re free
To give me just what you think I need
But you will see that i’ll stay on track
