A trillion twinkling stars set to a background of dappled moonlight.
Bathed in endless beauty in every living thing in which we delight,
An appreciation of the wholesome that holds in love and truth tonight.
Sometimes you just need a friend to tell everything's gonna be alright, right?
Sometimes you just need someone to kiss you in the middle of the night night...
With confusion a rife and a lost sense of purpose,
What is the worth of a smile from my true love in the morning glory for us.
A warm fire and a blanket with friendship music and dancing,
and laughter forever-after til the end we must cast away.
Our doubts and our fears, for in fear of losing what we did not ever come nearly never so close to.
Could i fly off into the distance never to be seen again?
Never to be dreamed again?
And lost in the abyss of the nearly forgotten dreams of man,
And for this only you can be true to your essence
In any sense of what kinda man u wanna play
With these minor chords in this master plan.
The present is a gift that's wrapped up in the future so -
Open up my brother, feels better comprehension,
Breath deep n always mention when you're in need of some attention,
Never let go of integrity it'll guide you in the dark (times).
Test the man you want to be
Who you possibly could be
Love strong when it is heavenly
It's meant to be it's meant to be
Let go of the load when it's draining you of energy
A price to pay for fucking up n ignorance n apathy
Love the ones who care for you,
They're the ones who'll guide you through
Confusion breeds, the modern mans disease
Swimming in a sea, of uncertainty
With waves of envy and technology
To keep him company
Is leaving me, confused beyond belief
A pic 'N' mix bag of ideology
Confusion on the planet, pollution of the spirit
Is going on around y'know we're livin in it
You could be a beacon, i'd follow in a minute
Let go, let go let go let go
A life time for the right time
Leaves me breathless unless I stress less
I confess this i made mess
N failed your tests n got distressed,
N so confused such a pessimist
And with this twisted list
Of opportunities missed
Of hopes been dashed
Against the rocks
I'm feeling lost at sea
With confusion , confusion of a modern man
The present is a gift that's wrapped up in our future so
Open up my brother , feels better ,comprehension
Breath deep n always mention when you're in need of some attention
Never let go of integrity will guide you in the dark times
Guide you in the dark times
Guide you in the dark times
Confusion on the planet, pollution of the spirit
Is going on around y'know we're livin in it
You could be a beacon, i'd follow in a minute
Let go, let go let go let go
So I wonder over yonder where the kind ones sleep the night
And I spy a web of lies unfold as songbirds take their flight
For I am stripping inhibitions with a sense of do or die
And I feel the need to heal those deeds before the time has passed me by
I wish I had a better grip on how to be a modern man
A revolution is long overdue, i'm doing what I can
For with a heart of gold and a hand to hold I could stand the length of time
But i lost what I was looking for back when it all began
There's way too too much confusion for a modern man
Way too too much confusion for a modern man!
