about
A song about abandon, forgiveness, compassion, self-compassion, hope. Inspired by the Hawaiin ancient prayer of ho'oponopono.
lyrics
Sweet day here's to living
All is forgiven, I was just giving this a little time
I'm not a speaker but I did find these words
And if they should move you they are yours not mine
I will be honest
I'm sometimes on this kind of train that has no track
I bought a ticket but I did not keep it
I am not going straight but I'm not going back
Sweet day here's to thinking
Here's to drinking, here's to going around and around again
No! I made my peace now, where are my feet now
I am not going straight but I am moving
When I take a minute to see the limit
I think I get kind of scared
It is a strange one, this arrangement of being self-aware
Sweet day here's to living
All is forgiving, you were just giving this a little ending
They come in stages, different ages need different kinds of women
And different kinds of men
I am not a speaker but I have a message
From a precious kind of friend
There is a mountain, there is a fountain
There is a why behind the when
My hands are freezing, my face is beaten
But I'm still running with this faith
I'm not going straight
I am always late
I've been listening to this ho'oponopono
Sweet day here's to living
All is forgiven, I was just giving this a little push
Sometimes you tease and sometimes you please
And sometimes you ease this into
Such a sense of hope, now how should I cope
With this kind of twist, this kind of tale
My hands are freezing but I am not beaten
And I am not broken but I'm sometimes frail
I am not a speaker but I did find these words
And if they should move you they are yours to take
I'm not going straight
It's my way to pray
I am listening to this ho'oponopono
