Ivory Towers and Champions

Come out of your ivory tower o maiden And take a firm step on the ground Feel the earth beneath your feet Find strength in your steps A newness of life can be found Sheltered and cocooned for too many years Have left your senses dulled The mind-numbing repetitiveness of your days Have long since stolen your smile Where dear lady does your heart lie Have your passions eroded away Have you forgotten that inner child That knew the importance of play Your intellect is alive and well Your emotions steady and strong But the seasons you’ve spent in sleeping Has made you deduce you are wrong Make good decisions, make bad decisions But make decisions Love the right person love the wrong person But love Sing loud and annoyingly, sing softly and sweet But sing Laugh until you can laugh no more But laugh Speak truth even when it’s difficult But speak truth The part of you that needed rescued Can only be rescued by you So be the champion you’ve dreamed of And may most of your wishes come true February 2009
