lyrics

Halful (there's far less less than more of plenty) by Puppeteer C)2023

1
Who wants to feel like crap all day long?
Who wants to fret on everything?
There is a case for happy song
If you can find the heart to sing

The world can be a darkish place
But it can be so beautiful
If you make an effort to chase
The things you find most meaningful

Look all around
Take in the sound
Only here once
This is your chance
Put on your pants
And step on the floor
Of your own dance

2
Your mind is always going dark
It sees the cup as half empty
The night is bright with stars that spark
There's far less less than more of plenty

Sometimes there's so much pregnant there
I can't decide which path to take
I'm frozen in the solid air
Afraid of making a mistake

Who would have thought
In space so vast
You could be caught
Before it's passed
In a time of feeling
Under this bright blue ceiling
It doesn't last

3
Life is every hue
Your eyes can do
It's every tone
Your ears have known
It paints your life
You're not alone

Life is in the soil
And in your soul
It's in your skin
It's in your flesh
And in your mind
Forming within

Life is in you now
It's in your veins
It's in your eyes
It crawls and hops
It swims and slides
It runs and flies

Sun, it keeps you warm
Its plants are born
Inside its light
You felt it shone
It felt so right
You're not alone

Life is ever change
A spinning wheel
The lapping waves
The beating heart
The breathing sleep
In deepest caves

Worms all feed the earth
Under your home
While birds above
Sit on their throne
Life is your hearth
Life is your love

Life is in you now
Your lava flood
Your lava blood
Your head a bud
That opens wide
Admirers eyed

You are not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

You are not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

You are not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
