Multiminded
This morning I rose
with a hungry sort of energy.
I was ready for anything.
But before I could act,
I had two selves at the bat.
I’ve got to be the best;
I’ve got to move mountains
with my words.
I’ve got no time for rest;
I’ve got mountains to move.
I just want to play.
Let’s go outside today;
I like the rain.
Let’s eat something new,
I’m tired of the same.
This morning I lay
around, feeling tired today.
I’m not ready for anything.
But before I could nap,
I had two selves at the bat.
I’ve got to be the best;
I’ve got to make a masterpiece
with my hands.
I’ve got no time for rest;
My fame will be my peace.
I just want to play.
Let’s play a game today;
I like the trees.
Let’s hear something new,
And take our ease.
Somehow,
Someway,
I’ve got to face this day.
Somehow,
Someway,
I’ll find a way.
Somehow,
Someway,
I’m going to be okay.
Somehow,
Someway,
I’ll be both today.
I’ve got to be the best;
At being both.
I just want to play
And move mountains
today.
I just want to play
And move mountains
today.
