Green Like That

Green Like That

Verse 1:  Today I opened up my eyes for the very first time, oh wow / I instantly believed in how I was using my senses all at once / it was electrifying / travelling inside of me and out again / I was boldly bright / and yes, I cried tears of joy for knowing myself / it was greater than the best dream / the start of something new and exciting one step at a time

Verse 2:  I struggled with existence before I came into being alive / it was rough being pushed aside, walked upon / being treated as if I were invisible / without luck, full of troubling and confusing experiences / dramatic and wild / like being a stranger among the cruel and apathetic / loneliness was weird from day to day / I'm no longer bothered with the past / it is left behind for many reasons / my future is now

Bridge 1:  I have worked the fields through hunger and thirst / slept on the floors of desperation / rode on emotions and quickly became lost / I was an object of others

Bridge 2:  Layers of fragility are unraveling / waves of clarity are numerous and strong / abilities of the heart will lead the way / to all the things that I deserve

Chorus:  I never saw green like that before / from the ground, up to the sky / it's giving me all the life and more / the purest thing that I've ever known / full of richness on a higher scale / I accept and celebrate it / every moment is monumental / I am humbled / I never saw green like that before

[John the Baptist]

Has the sound of a mystical experience. The sense of being intensely present, the sharpening of the senses, the newly found sense of clarity, all coming after a period of darkness and struggle. Reminds me of Eckhart Tolle's writing.
