come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
when the sun shines,
when the air is clean,
when it is quiet,
I feel good.
when I do what I want
whenever and wherever I want
and it works
I feel good.
because this doesn’t happen often,
because this isn’t guaranteed,
even though I know feeling good
doesn’t good any good,
I feel good.

Yes, we can.
We can take whatever comes our way,
and make it into a song
that we will be proud of.
Yes, we can.
even as people and places peel away
like ocean waves, summer rain, and
petals of sunflowers,
we can dance to our anthem.
Yes, we can.
as the sun sets and darkness dawns,
we can hold onto our inner flames,
and march through this long tunnel,
to meet again at the oasis.

everyday I wake up from my bed
I felt blessed, guess it’s best to express
thank all who helped me get past
last regrets, and test my inner strength
yes, everyone, thanks to your help
I am here with my best self.

Yes.
A small yes was where it all started.
An ant compared to a glacier whale
May be a feeble dust in a wind,
But a yes cannot be changed.
It will haunt through thousands of hills,
Lurk in mindless blind spots,
Resounding heartbeats blares its horns
As dusts flares into a grand sand storm.
The ant has said yes.
