Sitting in my sanctuary,
I was hidden from e world outside.
I thought I was all alone,
With nobody by my side.
But I was wrong, and I became strong.
Nothing got in my way!
And I would…
Tell myself, over and over, that somewhere,
Grass is really greener.
Remind myself, over and over, that some day,
Things could be better for us all.
Yea I drive a pick-up truck,
And I want my GTO.
That’s just how I’ve always been,
But that’s not all I know.
You got to start off slow, learn as you go.
It’ll make the difference you’ll see!
And I would…
Tell myself, over and over, that somewhere,
Grass is really greener.
Remind myself, over and over, that some day,
Things could be better for us all.
And we will live on; people have made it on less.
And we’ll be together; people always find happiness.
(Cl8 The Gr8)
Poverty is sovereignty.
I tell myself constantly,
a better place, there's gotta be,
life is just an Odyssey.
So, let's get it Krakken,
gotta take some action
before we take over masses.
Paint the town red and
see some greener grasses,
no point of being blue.
No x-ray vision,
But I gotta see it through.
Happiness I pursue.
I cut to the chase,
while I'm stuck in this race,
steady hunting my fate.
Reaching for my destiny,
can't allow any of my doubts,
to get the best of me.
(Jon Smeland)
Every time it makes me cry,
But I don’t know what it was.
Never ever sweat the small stuff,
Or ask why a man does what he does.
I don’t know where I’ll go, I’ll go with the flow.
Wherever you are I’ll be there.
And I would…
Tell myself, over and over, that somewhere,
Grass is really greener.
Remind myself, over and over, that some day,
Things could be better for us all.
