The melody of a familiar tune dances around the room. In an instant, I'm focused on its rhythmic beat. I start to hum along and just like that, I'm lost in its words. Not lyrical lies, only lyrical truths. These truths travel within me, ebbing and flowing through my veins, searching for a place where they can take root. In my heart, I can feel it. My pulse, steady but strong. Locked in, I take hold.
"There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those that don't see it
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected
If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out"
Thank you Avett Brothers for this beautiful message. DECIDE WHAT TO BE AND GO BE IT!
I made my decision. I am living my dream. I am connecting myself to something greater. A cause that provides meaning and gives hope. I know what I want. A better world. A healthy world. Happy people. CONNECT YOURSELF!
