Tattered Drifter ft. Nazareth Lyrics

There was a time

Not so long ago

I was drifting along

On city buses and trolleys

Erykah badu and jamiroquai

In my ears

Big buds from mother nature

Expanding my lungs

Poetic metaphors up rocking and

Dolphin diving from my tongue

Head spinning on ear drums

Each pause a pose a freeze

Executed at the right moment

In time with the perfect beat

Floating through the county

Drifting city to city

Embracing every

Opportunity to speak

Sharing the gift

Spread love and uplift

Doing all that I verbally can

To help complacent minds Expand

On this tattered road

This path I chose

Words from the gut

That sculpt and mold

Touch souls in this world of

Touch and let go

Catch and release

War and peace

Daily those lost get

Harder to reach

The youth harder to teach

Corruption grows in the

Minds of those that preach

Somethings unfortunately

Change for the worse

This is one of life's curse

When reality bites it hurts

I'm still trying to envision a

World where we put love first

Dance music sex romance

Let's face our fears and

Take a chance

Give more than a passing glance

Metaphysically and

Spiritually advance

In this world of circumstance

Remember to look up when

Walking downtown blocks

Life the true school of

Hard knocks

Stay too well rounded and

Universal to fit into any box

Accept none of society's labels

Believe no fables

Never choose a controller

Over turntables

Never go the way of those with

Lazy minds always remain able

Be the change you want to see

Act local but do not

Fear thinking globally

Examine explore experience life

Drift with a purpose

It won't always be perfect but the

Journey is definitely worth it

Be a sponge

Take some give some

Practice the golden rule

Stand strong hold true

Do unto others as you would

Have them do unto you

Mend those broken wings and

Learn to fly again

Like mr mister

This is the way of

The tattered drifter
