lyrics

I can help
I can help

It’s a little early for this,
It’s a little late for that
I guess the arms of my clock
Have started to grow fat
And the face of my clock
Looks a bit mad
I bet the repair man
Will say It just got it wet

And then he’ll tell me
Insurance won’t cover that
And then he’ll sell me
A refurbished replacement

I can help

Maybe a reminder
Or a small remedy
To remind me then and again
To take time to breathe
You know, the deep breaths
That take you to the sea and back
Not just the ones
That keep ticking

Suddenly
I see a white glow from the west
And it tells me
Insurance won’t cover that

It's a beautiful day to spend at the beach
At the edge of where the water comes and leaves
An exhale and where I’m at
Is just my apartment
Check it out, I learned how to breathe

I can help
I can help
I can help
I can help

Big Time

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists
