Take Care

Take care in radiant delight
Take care in sharing His light
Take care 
Care to share
What’s on your mind?
You won’t be left behind

Optimism will overwhelm us 
We are on the same rowdy bus
Be strong in all aspects of life
Even if strife cuts like a knife

There are beginnings to our ends
Our benevolent brilliance blends
With His gracious, zealous spirit 
Intuition and illumination with it

My cup of coffee is to hear you 
My cup of coffee is to believe in You
My cup of coffee is to love you
My cup of coffee is brewing all anew

Something in me has changed forever it seemed
My smile within me will mask the insane pain I feel 
You feel it too…yeah, I could tell…your expressions screamed
Right in my face and then, I knew for certain like no big deal

You are the veins that go into my heart…
You are the oxygen I breathe from the start
Trying with all these difficulties in mind constantly
Crying because I’m hating, yet loving the struggle strangely

I am a sinner
Yet, a winner
I am a beginner of this happiness of genuine sensations
Drain away the madness…
Shatter away the sadness…
Build me up with gladness…
Not this worldly, lust-clustered badness…
I bleed instantly from the aftershocks of grief
You deep fry me in the oils of ripening relief

You gave me grace
So, I give You glory
You lift my sad face
Gave me beloved liberty
Gave me a take care freely

Fake it till you make it
That’s what they all say
But I want to mean it with all my strength
In every miniscule angle, way and length 

I shake off the distress mess
Drink in inner and outer success
I party because my heart lies on the dance floor
I will unlock possibilities that I adore so much more
My family doesn’t mind me having a good time
As long as I don’t get out of hand with perfect crime

Dance with me…for a little mile of a while 
While I pray we be safe tonight
You care, I can tell success in on another isle 
Take care, sunshine of holy might

My heart is heavy with happiness when I pray to You
My heart dances and skips beats, nothing really new 
California dreaming out of the blue, 
But my heart's home is in Havasu
Heartfelt home is in Havasu…
A Malibu times a thousand too…

Yeah, I said it
As I rise above this pit
This pit of regret
Ever-piling debt

Freedom is my home park
Care to share our arduous ark?
You surround me like a shark
Yet, I fly away like a lovely lark

Ripped apart aimlessly as usual
Mend me, faith fuel, fix me true
Priceless, Your great Word is to me
Feeling hazy and lazy and crazy 
You are the rain and sparkling sea
Floating like a forever drifting daisy 
Yeah, I said it…
And I must admit,
I don’t care to be my old self, so selfish, 
I do care to give up my useless, reckless wish

Curiosity will never truly…
Bring me to my weary knees
With You entirely, I am free
I will try to do what you please

You promise to keep me and family at ease
Such dark times got me feeling tired
Unprepared for tomorrow’s much-desired…
Inspired…not-expired…glee-wired 
Yesterday…yesterday…
Of chaotic, frantic dismay

Yesterday will be put in the back burner
I will not remain this helpless tear-jerker
Take care not to spend our time wastefully
Take care and you will see your true destiny

Take care 
Take heart
Can’t bear
To see you fall apart
Leave regrets outside 
No longer should you hide
