A Reality
I stole a leaf from Gilgamesh, I handed Socrates a cup Opened doors for the Buddha, showed a druid which way is up Gave a sword to the Samurai, a stick for the witch Gave an answer for Aesop, at the end of a cliff I built pyramids to carry, built a house full of fire I built the halls of Valhalla, and steeples for the wire I built stones going in circles, and a wall around the town Built a cross to erect, a totem on sacred ground
I am a reality, of some things defined Doors to unknown, escape for the mind Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave a path to Dante, an animal to Ovid A curse to Odysseus, Poe getting morbid A whale for the captain, a thicket for Blake A question for Whitman, Elliots land to waste I gave a punchline to Erasmus, Schopenhauer attracts a magnet Dionysus for the Greeks, Atlantis to always be wet Yeats gets a quest, Rilke paces a cage Sinbad gets a boat, Swift a Houyhnhnm to save
I am a reality, of some things defined Doors to unknown, escape for the mind Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave tragedy to Shakespeare, Nietzsche gets a cape Sight for Cervantes, Descartes to never be late A bell for Hemingway, Dostoyevsky finds a balance Rimbaud an identity, Neruda the deepest silence I gave Thoreau a cabin, Thompson connects some dots Billy gets a gun, Kerouac moving fast Morrison can light a fire, Ginsberg can tell a joke Guthrie finds a struggle, Marley throws off the yoke Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I am a reality, of some things defined Doors to unknown, escape for the mind Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave a collection for Isis, showed a Shaman a ladder Stars for the Mayans, walking on the water Told Machiavelli a joke, ears for Beethoven Vincent gets urgent, Picasso a new dimension Gave dreams to Tesla, Einstein a new reflection Gave an expression to Chapman, Lennon can imagine Cash an escape from prison, Hendrix a soul to scream Pryor and Belushi, turning tragic into comedy
I am a reality, of some things defined Doors to unknown, escape for the mind Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave eyes to the eagle, I made snakes intertwine I gave ravens a box, making jokes over time I gave salmon a direction, a whale gets a tune A camel a desert, a wolf howling at the moon I made butterflies an example, changing on the fourth A bee can make some honey, Pythagoras knows its worth I gave a horse a field to run, dolphins returning blue Trees a place for roots, springtime for the new
I am a reality, of some things defined Doors to unknown, escape for the mind Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere Letting it go, a beat you will hear
