Right Through Me
Right Through Me (12/26/2007)
Today, the sky was gray, but that’s really okay
When there’s so much down here to put a smile on this face
The place and the time and the sky and these lives
None of it matters and it’s not on my mind
And for a moment I’m fine and loose from the burdens
I’m not angry or sad or anxious or nervous
The purpose of this day was to realize appreciation
And to stick to a path with no kind of deviation
So, hold back the litigation and silence your concerns
Just let me enjoy the high of these words
Warmth and emotion met in someone beautiful
It’s not an every day event. For me, it’s quite unusual
But, really, it can soothe a soul, if only for a moment
I’ll take advantage of the time and hold it while I own it
Cause my focus is set right and I’m free from confusion
This smile’s more than a dream and it’s not just an illusion
And it’s more than a delusion, this happiness is sober
More so when it was, but even past to when it’s over
My shoulder blades are lifted and every weight’s suspended
It’s almost as though my very ways have been upended
Cause I’ve ascended into blissfulness, risen to a smile
If only for a little bit, it’s been a precious while
Freedom like a child and warmth found in the beauty
It’s the most perfect kind of smile that she has run right through me
