The Havasu of Hopes
Go, go, go ahead,
Yeah, go right ahead
Give me your all-in-your-head dread
While I keep living…keep living…
I will remember to start believing and giving
This life here, I’ll keep reliving…
Yeah, keep living longevity in a lifetime
This tranquil time, we’ll be fine and sublime
As long as we have no doubts this time
But, don’t literally hold on to me…
I mean that authentically…emotionally…
The words I say leave me speechless sometimes
The silence I hear is a sway of a thousand chimes
Help us, our gracious Lord
Give us Your accord
Give us the Havasu of hopes
Don’t give us ripped-up, ragged ropes
We're not wrecked-up
We're not giving up
Blessed bliss and happiness and gladness –
We will truly feel and experience real soon
As all the sadness, madness and distress
Will disappear like a wandering balloon
You give and I receive and vise versa
You learn from your past
Also, there’s no need to grieve – nah-ah
Lament and pain don’t last
Kissing the rain goodbye
Embracing sunshine rays…rays…
Oh, how I could live or die
In this heat in Havasu these days
I’m dancing in the wind freely
With wild and wavy hair, let them stare
Be kind and don’t judge me
I’m trying to live life without a care
Longing to live in liberty
Like a desert bird, out of a monsoon
Fired up in passion, baby
Instead of feeding fury's fire way too soon
The moon and the sun,
I’ve seen them shine triumphantly
In the fiery sky, just having fun
While I lay down with AC on…can’t blame me!
The shimmering sun rays
These delightful, dorky days
Gives me the goosebumps in a good way
Gives me good feelings from day to day
Couldn’t sleep all night
Because of my blasted tablet
But, with all of my might,
I will bite the bullet I bet, I bet
I was more than happy
To leave LA, well, honestly
I embrace endurance to fight my fears away
Gotta get out of my comfort zone in some bizarre way!
Lake Havasu City, Arizona is different from Los Angeles, California,
Even though they have their similarities – yeah, yeah, stating the obvious
Destined to be deserted by the fast-paced world… I’m not in awe
Letting go of worries in the hot breeze – at least I’m not completely oblivious
All I got to say is
I feel better here in Arizona
Than in California
Can’t lie more or less
I know people will scoff “a-ha”
Ayo (come on, never lay low and let them all know, ya know?),
Let’s go (after dawn, as soon as shadows spin into a suave halo)
Engulf ourselves eagerly in a tiny bit of sunshine rays to add a little sunshine your way
Living longevity in a lifetime goes a long way these dark days, that’s what I started to say
Dazzling days like these – ayo (hey you) – where'd you go? With the flow?
Well, at least I know I will stay in Arizona or go to Iowa – who knows, you know?
Let’s blow (oh, ayo…let’s go – we have a lot of shamelessness to show)
Away our woe…(glimmer aglow, hang your hopes high and onwards, we go)
I’ll make sure to put on the AC –
Or heat will weigh us down in a jiffy –
If I remain here in LHC (in Lake Havasu City for a while, feeling free)
Here, my heavy heart will always be…
A slow-paced life I've sought to see…
No more sorrow that churns like the stormy sea of lost ecstasy
It’s okay, there’s today and tomorrow to sail smoothly possibly
Yesterday is but a moment and left us blind
Live no longer in captivity
Accept it in mind and all and throw it behind
The wind of really rapid whirling got me soaring and spinning
And, ah, astonished by extremely warm, awesome twirling…
Live for the life of longevity
It will lead to tranquility…
An upcoming opportunity ~
I saw the year 2007 on the wall on a school ground
That was eleven years ago – was in LA, now in Lake Havasu
I was long lost, bound to not be found like a hound
In the prairies of pain and pangs of shame that had me so speechless too
