In the Long Run

Creativity never came easy to a boy like me
But, it took determination and a bit of skill on my part
Captivity was a place I call home
Captivity was my house…a place to roam

Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm

Fantastic feelings feed on me
Epic empathy is elegant and free
Frying up fries on the stove
Eating that good stuff I love…

Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm
Hmmm mmm

Friendship and familyship really come hand in hand
I do understand where I stand…and where my airplanes land
In a land called Acceptance
Not in the zone of rejectance… 
Repentance is gracious and glorious as ever
You sit down and just say “whatever”
Love is pure
Love is great
Love is the cure
Love is fate
It gives me a reason to move on
To move forward before the break of dawn
Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm
Hmmm mmm
Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm
Hmmm mmm
