Creative Bandages

Be your own explorer and see for yourself. There's lessons in all the world. In each blade of grass, and each flower petal. Flying off the tail of your coat, Hiding creative bandages. Papers full of words of life. Packing out your dingy jacket. And money is no object. Life is so short and is so briefly lived. That your out for living, trying to help, And dying in the end. Because your dreams were larger Than yourself or even others. You tried to save the world. But it's flying off the tail of your coat. As your riding into the sunset, Hiding creative bandages. Like papers floating in the sea. You sail away. As your journey lives on. On to the next person who needs our help. On to the next person who's soul is gone. Love is like the open ocean. Your a drop of water in it's hand. But someday, your journey, will end. You'll find some sort of resolution. Maybe, a pen in your hand. And finally, return home. You'll Leave the world, Flying off the tail of your coat. Hiding creative bandages. That you've kept threw land and sea. You've learned so much, throughout the years. So drop it out into the world. Your collection of creative bandages. You'll show for all of them to see. So Your journey may be said and done. But you'll always have your dreams. And those creative bandages. That you pray will save the world.
