“I feel my body weakened by the years,
As people turn to gods of cruel design.
Is it that they fear the pain of death?
Or could it be they fear the joy of life? … “

I.

The light hits me and I need to

Breathe life and so I proceed to

Inhale, let me take all in

On the verge of a revelation

On the edge of my destination, I

Exhale, and I fully fall in

I evened out around the Equator

Took the time I’d been saving for later

Surprised how the change in latitude

Caused a changing attitude

Now I burn for those solar moments

And turn with the urges they foment

To realize my rebirth

My connection with the Earth

< Chorus>

Gimme some of that warm and bright sunshine

To release me from a cold and darker time

To relieve me every fear and doubt of mine

And break me off some peace of mind

Let it ease my mind

II.

Into the blue of the ocean

And out of the bluest emotion

I give my wholehearted devotion

Sweet thing, could you pass me the lotion?

The light hits me, and I blink

And everything is bright in my sight

And I might take flight tonight if I drink

Feelin’ like I am all kinds of alright

I need to feel my feet on white sand

I need to sip this glass in my hand

I need someone out there to understand

How much this man standing here needs a suntan

I wanna take a fast car to a fast plane

I wanna take it past far, change my last name

I want a taste of the good life

A good time with a twist of lime

<Chorus>

Gimme some of that warm and bright sunshine

To release me from a cold and darker time

To relieve me every fear and doubt of mine

And break me off some peace of mind

Let it ease my mind

III.

The light hits me like a gift

An ever-present lift, and I groove

To the tidal rise and fall of it all

And I don’t ever want to move

I feel like anything is possible

I feel like everything is optional

Get over Me, it’s the only obstacle

And get myself a little bit of tropical

The light hits me and it melts away

All the stress I had from before

Makes me need to feel what I felt

And I’m a fiend who always wants more

So I’m in this state planting palm trees

In my head til the dread is beyond me

With my head full of zombie

I want to feel it fall upon me

<Chorus>

 Gimme some of that warm and bright sunshine

To release me from a cold and darker time

To relieve me every fear and doubt of mine

And break me off some peace of mind

Let it ease my mind

I dream

And sometimes I don’t want to wake up

Cuz I’m in love with everything in my head

And in the mornings I am sad to see them go

I’d rather stay in bed instead

Give me

Five more minutes of this peaceful sleep

It will

Make the alarm sound like music to my ears

Just five more minutes of a world I can control

Gets me through the years

I dream, and each time it’s just amazing

Cuz I’m love with all the things that I see

And every evening I just marvel at my mind

Even the things that frighten me

I need

Five more minutes of this wonderful sleep

It will

Make the alarm sound like music to my ears

Just five more minutes in a world of my design

Gets me through years

It’s my nightly escape

That takes me from this place

And I’m in so deep

I could lie here forever

And I know I’m caught up

But I don’t ask for that much

Just a little more

I will feel a lot better

I feel so much better

When I dream,

but most times I don’t remember

I can only tell you how it made me smile

And I love the little flashes of it later

That take me back to where I was for a while

Give me

Five more minutes of this beautiful sleep

It will

Make the alarm sound like music to my ears

Just five more minutes in a world that’s all my own

Gets me through the years

I don’t feel as old as I am

I don’t think I ever will

I still try all that I can

I still cannot sit still

I won’t reel from holes in my plans

I might make some for the thrill of it

I still give all that I have

And I will

I will

Get myself a taste for a little bit of sin

Some fun ones that won’t hurt anyone

Or anything

Except my silly sense of time

And my need to fill it in

For I have lost my innocence

And I haven’t missed it since

I’m over giving up

I’m all out of giving in

I just found out I’m all about giving myself a second skin

To cover up the one that’s mine

With one that has never been

So now I’m shedding it to show

How this all ends

Where it begins

There’s no time

I know I can’t fast forward or rewind

No time to stop and think,

where the hell does all the time go?

So

I just go with it

I might make a few mistakes

That I know I could avoid

Just to say that they were made

Because chaos reigns the void

And I know ours are the hours

Days and decades of our lives

But it only took a moment

For me to open up my eyes

To see I measure out my life

In such tiny increments

So I hope every second

counts itself

As time well spent

For I’m no longer keeping track

Except for tallying my laughs

And all the time I take for that

Because I know it doesn’t last

There’s no time

I know I can’t fast forward or rewind

No time to stop and think,

where the hell does all the time go?

So

I just go with it

I take time to stop

And take a look around myself

I found myself in this

There’s no time

(We made it up, time we gave it up)

I know I can’t fast-forward or rewind

(So waste it up, you can’t save it up)

And I don’t care to know

Where the hell does all the time go?

No, I just go with it

I take time to stop

And take a look around myself

I found myself in this

And every time the time I take

Takes too much of me

I remind myself of this

There’s no time

(We made it up, time we gave it up)

I know I can’t fast-forward or rewind

(So waste it up, you can’t save it up)

No time to stop and think,

Where the hell does all the time go?

So, I just go with it.

Just go with it

Just go with it
