All In One Package

Hearing the news of 9/11 again...and it makes me look back at that destructive day I remember it slightly...it's a sheer memory in my mind, but at least it's sunny today Reading signs all around me and feeling at ease for a while Taking a trip in a truck full of food items and I'm clearing up my boredom pile Pre-ch: Oooh oooh oooh what is this feeling I feel? My heart is made of the finest steel These wounds I bear are about to heal Hours pass me by and I haven't wasted much of it - even if I did, it's no big deal Ch: I'm fulfilling success and failure all in one package Pushing my way out...rummaging out of the wreckage Now I'm approaching the lane of positivity and negativity I'm playing the role of a hard worker, carrying responsibility On my shoulders...there's a huge load on my shoulders The future is knocking on the door of my cranium and the past neighbors of nostalgic restlessness blurs I'm holding on to the last ounce of optimism I am the sand of the sea and you're the precious prism Stacking boxes upon boxes upon boxes...and watching the shipping man stack boxes upon boxes upon boxes Volunteering is something I should always be willing to do when I am facing my lonely states The truck is zipping through the street, making a whole lot of movement but I don't mind at all - as long as we make progress Fearing the worst is something I shouldn't do, but motivation and hope are one of my most prized traits Pre-ch Ch Blissful silence and guiltless essence are wrapped all in one package...they are the vigilant moons and brilliant suns Break the eggshells of immense shame and throw all your worries down the drain Refrain from driving me insane, expired guilt that overflows from a truck load of milk cartons Why do I suddenly feel calmness and gratefulness at this present time? For once, I feel sane Pre-ch Ch Ch Honestly, my life has produced its lows and highs Oh joy, how time flies by and bugs me like flies That hover all around me like the advertisements of the city streets Coping with the corruptions and temptations that try to get me hooked on sweets I have planted myself on the front seat of the truck, feeling like I can relate to the products that are in back of us We are both all in one package - isn't everyone somewhat in the same rowdy bus? I will work a sweat and not fuss
