adapted thoughts

lifeswimming and I deserve a quiet night
i'm not sure all you people understand what's right
it's not like years ago - a new daughter
and the fear of getting caught
on the recklessness of lifes rough water

you cannot see me naked
these things, they go away

replaced by the monotony of everyday

adapted dreams

I am standing up at the water’s edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can’t be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we’d be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

adapted hopes

remember the memories to remember

i promise, the whole world be kind to you
i will teach you and you'll see it's true
that you are blessed
that you are touched
that you will grow in relationship to you

remember the people to remember

when youth is pushing you to desire
miracles you see in every hour
i will watch you and you'll see it's true
that you are beautiful
that you are gifted
that you will grow in relationship to you

remember the person to remember
as your eyes fill with laughter

one day you might feel the sun on your face
you'll know this was meant to be
i will protect you and you'll see it's true
that you are respected
that you are happy
that you will grow in relationship to you

i am thinking of you
i am always thinking of you
