This song is a wish list for myself to do things better.
Lyrics:
I'm thinking I should be more attentive
and listen when people talk.
Be more present and engaged
when dealing with daily encounters.
when dealing with daily encounters.
Work to be nice and less grumpy
as I grow wiser and old.
I will exercise my kindness
and give more when I see chances.
and give more when I see chances.
I'll call a friend who once wasn't so kind
but now has earned my forgiveness.
Be a bit more humble but you know
the old saw about perfect - I'm not.
the old saw about perfect - I'm not.
Some situations would be much better
with a large dose of sincerity.
My tolerance could use some elevation
to a level that engages acceptance.
to a level that engages acceptance.
Silence might be a solution and goal
when tested with things I deem odd.
I must be more passionate
to achieve for myself and others
to achieve for myself and others
It will test me to express compassion
as it has it never come naturally to me.
And lastly, I'll work to be grateful
for that which I do —with intent.
for that which I do —with intent.
