Hidie Ho, blog readers! Just a little poetry from the World Race about “falling asleep” on the job. Enjoy. By the way, keep an eye out. I will be posting two more songs shortly WITH music. Just waiting on recording schedule. Until then, God bless.
SEIZE THE DAY By Nathan Chaplin
Brave a new storm / The rain is coming in
I am too worn / To face it all again
Close my red eyes / I wish it all away
Dream of sleeping / As if it were the way
To escape this / And leave it all behind
So deceiving / Poisoning my mind
Drifting off now / I slowly slip away
Make it stop now / As night defeats the day
Chorus: Wake up now! Get off of the floor
Wake up now! Get back in the war
Wake up now! You’re losing your way
Wake up now! And seize the day
Made my mind up / Remaining out of tune
Takes my time up / With pitiful excuse
Need to focus / To wake from this dream
Comfort broke us / Resting from the heat
Close my red eyes / And leave it all behind
Put my sword down / And swear to try next time
Losing light now / I can’t remember why
Almost night now / Remaining where I lie
Chorus
Brave a new storm / The trials coming in
I am too worn / To drop the ball again
Clear my dead eyes / I wipe the scales away
Break my old ties / Cause it’s the only way
To escape this / And leave it all behind
So renewing / A change within my mind
I see the light now / And now it’s here to stay
Full of life now / I rise and seize the day!
