Enjoy every sandwich
Enjoy every dance
Enjoy every smile
Enjoy every chance
Enjoy every record
Enjoy every love
Enjoy every night fall
and the Dawn’s homeward dove
Enjoy every candle
Enjoy every flame
Enjoy every stranger
Learn every name
Enjoy every jokester
Enjoy every laugh
Enjoy getting dirty
Enjoy every bath
The moon is a fountain
Of light pouring down
The sun is a gut punch
From way underground
Space is a vortex
Of God’s lonely thought
Enjoy every fish line
And every fish that you caught
Enjoy every daydream
Enjoy every day
Enjoy every shape
And becoming like clay
You are God’s sculptor
The stones chip away
Enjoy working hard
And the days that you play
Enjoy giving up
Enjoy coming back
Enjoy flying home
As the eagles attack
Enjoy desert landscapes
Where coyotes will stay
Enjoy days of blue
And the evenings of grey
Enjoy yellow skies
And the nights shooting stars
The red in your eyes
When you cry in the bars
Enjoy coming back
To the gospel of song
As the melody sings you
A land to belong
Enjoy finding love
And one that’s your own
Enjoy being lost
Enjoy coming home
Enjoy crying out
To me and your ma
We will always be here
Singing la de la la
A song just for you
To say just enjoy
Enjoy every scheme
Enjoy every ploy
Enjoy every dream
That lands in your head
Enjoy every breath
Before we are dead
Enjoy all the calls
Enjoy silent storms
Radio waves
And destroying the norms
Enjoy giving up and coming back strong
In the palm of his hand
Where you always belong.
Whatever life throws at us
We can overcome
By weight of love and prayer
The road less traveled starts out with the sentence
Life is difficult
Ekhart Tolle always talks about how that’s all he needs to know to make him feel better
To keep him on course
Life is difficult
Of course. Of course.
And framed that way you can overcome anything
Being in life is like a video game
Where the difficulty setting is on high
And not all the time
You’ll have wonderous expanses of time
When everything is firing on the signals of ease
Laughing friends and love affairs
You’ll be the life of every party
People will scream your name when you walk in some rooms
And you’ll feel like an essential ingredient to every situation
But life has many masks
As do the the people who populate it
You might also find yourself
In periods of isolation and despair
A phone that never rings
And no one coming through to help you escape from yourself
You need only the tools of creation to get you through times like these
Maybe just a pencil and a piece of paper could be enough
Maybe just a thought and a vision
Life wears many masks
It takes a bus load of faith to get by
Your uncle Lou sang and still sings from the sky
We are looking at places in the desert
Vagabond resorts
For white trash hucksters
Our needs are simple because we are fulfilled from within
Not that that isn’t also a dance high up on a tight rope
But nothing in life isn’t
A dance high up on a tight rope
Rolling dice over rolling clouds in the sky
Enjoy every hello
Enjoy every goodbye
Enjoy every car
Enjoy every ride
Every revelation
And every place that you hide
Enjoy every thumbprint
Enjoy every eye
Enjoy every question
Every how where or why
Enjoy every song
Enjoy every voice
Everything that’s been given
Enjoy every choice
It’s Thursday
I’m in the car again waiting on street sweepers in brooklyn
They just passed as I wrote that
As if I’m writing the Universe into existence
As if I’m writing the scenes of our lives as we live them
Enjoy every light
Red yellow or green
Enjoy every night
Being nice dumb or mean
Enjoy every winter
The cold blooms again
On skin crumbles ice
As the world lets you in
Enjoy getting warm
Getting warm yet again
As your daydreams will swarm
Like the bees of your sin
Enjoy all the honey
The honey and gin
The smoke and the powder
And the puff of your kin
Enjoy blowing smoke
Enjoy being high
Enjoy getting sober
To report to the sky
Enjoy saying hello
And then saying goodbye
Enjoy getting mellow
As age takes you by
By hook or by crook
You’ll make it my dear
Enjoy being fearless
After being locked under fear
Enjoy all the love
Coming to you
What an honor it’s been to
See you coming through
Your smile dances in the mornings
And we are gonna keep you protected from a world falling down
Our bubble is a home made of love
With you in the center
You don’t need much else
When you focus on love
You don’t need anything fancy at all
As long as you have each other
And a dream
The will to live and your passions emerge thriving
And here come the answered prayers
When your prayer is simply to be a light in this world
The sun beams hit the center of your dreams
And you feel the heat transcend every fiber in this world
Enjoy every life
Every life that you live
Enjoy stealing apples
And millions you’ll give
Enjoy jumping rope
And the fight in the ring
Enjoy every song
That you get to sing.
