Aiming for a creative life

I Am Santo

Maybe there’s no path correction,
A gleeful lack of true direction.
The words won’t flow
Exactly as they should.

Your story told with lilting inflection,
A tale laced with heavy reflection.
The life you’d know
If only you’d understood.

That a man can’t be all things to you
And kids never were to act as glue
Binding into one
What was supposed to be two.

Those lives lived without passion’s fire
Are Summer winds caught in Autumn’s ire
And those robbed of flame
Deserve a longer look.

Feelings changing and seasons expire
Hopeful dreamers with hearts on the wire
They hope to reclaim
The love another took.

And with candid conversation
Soul stars align in your constellation
Whatever fears that won before
Can’t refract your light anymore
Whatever pasts that broke onshore
Are haunting tides far from your ocean floor
Celestial forces don’t know right from wrong
But love
Is a singer
Waiting for a song.

Yeah love
You’re a singer
Waiting for a song.

Now cowards offered no attention,
To broken-hearted pleas for a little affection
It’s their loss
And the gain strengthed you.

That chin kept up and those tears dried out,
Sleepless nights guessing what it’s all about
It’s a coin toss
And the options are just two.

You can hide away from the things that hurt you
Or open up and hold a new virtue
Take a chance again
And see stars in a new light.

Living isn’t easy and under clouded skies
The number of truths seem less than lies
If it’s too much then
Too much earned a fight.

And with candid conversation
Soul stars align in your constellation
Whatever fears that won before
Can’t refract your light anymore
Whatever pasts that broke onshore
Are haunting tides far from your ocean floor
Celestial forces don’t know right from wrong
But love
Is a singer
Waiting for a song.

Yeah love
You’re a singer
Waiting for a song.

See it doesn’t matter whatever happened
The things said and how your world was flattened
It’s over now
And the page has been turned.

So raise that glass and wear a smiling face
Drink to old dreams you’re now gonna chase
You’ll show them how
Much you’ve grown and learned.
Oh you’ll show you how
Much you’ve always deserved. (at Waiting for a Song )
