"JUST AM"

Days fog
Can't see past the edge of what's gone but I'm hoping I'll try

And the rain shines
And the showers and the fawns in the field arrange in my eyes

So why fight?
With nature's call around
You talk about frights

In the verse of every song
You tell me what's wrong
But what's right?

You're seeing creation
That crushing never-ending change is so full of love

And so you're waking to face the change in your role
And with each restless shiver you wretch from your soul
You're asking "oh, is that something I'm not anymore?
A brother to shake these broken chords till they turn gold?"

And I tried
To survive without that gold
And wondering why
Our exchange can never hold
Am I what's wrong?
Well what's right?
Stop trusting in demons

You're scattered, ever-lonely, buddy, but so full of love

Please stop repeating your terror
You choose what you see

It's always "what if?" and "why not?"
Man, you gotta just be

Simplify, define your goals
And watch them grow

Be your own true self
The you that I know

Days gone
As I peer past the edge of what's lost I'm starting to cry

But the rain's fine
And the tears feel warm and my body is humming alive

In time
You'll revive what you thought dead
You've stopped your own climb
On the verge of every end
You tell me what's wrong
But what's right?

Stop believing your being's been shattered and distorted 'cause brother you're so full of love

And so you're hoping to make a change in your role
Repeating mantras to find some ground for your soul

Stop asking "oh, is that something I'm not anymore?
A brother to shake these broken chords 'til they turn gold?"
