WORKING ON ME
Working on me
Leaves me little time to
Find your flaws
Removing the boulders from mine own eyes
Leaves
Me little time to see that speck in your eye.
I am working on me,
Attention whores, I can't see you
Drama queens, I can't hear you.
Facing forward,
Watching my steps.
Lifting weights, getting stronger
No longer, getting side tracked.
the pro-longer, no longer
Neither prevaricator or the caretaker;
Working to fulfill my purpose.
That's not my circus.
Not even curious about what tricks
Your monkeys can do.
Meditating to find my peace of mind.
This room is huge, a lot to improve.
Working on me. Soon I will flex.
Test my strength, but never compare.
Moving right along doing what comes next.
Staying balanced on my beam.
And working on me.
Working on me
Leaves me little time to
Find your flaws
Removing the boulders from mine own eyes
Leaves
Me little time to see that speck in your eye.
I am working on me,
Attention whores, I can't see you
Drama queens, I can't hear you.
Facing forward,
Watching my steps.
Lifting weights, getting stronger
No longer, getting side tracked.
the pro-longer, no longer
Neither prevaricator or the caretaker;
Working to fulfill my purpose.
That's not my circus.
Not even curious about what tricks
Your monkeys can do.
Meditating to find my peace of mind.
This room is huge, a lot to improve.
Working on me. Soon I will flex.
Test my strength, but never compare.
Moving right along doing what comes next.
Staying balanced on my beam.
And working on me.
