how to sit back and let it all go
relax those cramps around your shoulders
from years and years and years of bending over
from those you thought could tell you so
how to be happy I want to know
to float through time without a care
that dream of so so, long ago
maybe I will get there still
by scratch of nail and iron will
through hunger and with no remorse
I’ll get there if I stay on course
a happy place where I could stay
I’ll see you there today today
