God smiles

but doesn't buy it. i don't either but was nonetheless very happy to find this yesterday.

God also smiles upon me when i set my alarm clock but inadvertently FORGET TO ACTUALLY TURN IT ON yet still wake up when i should. letting me sleep through so i'm even more late for work than usual would also bring to my attention my utter stupidity but He decided to do this in a more palatable fashion. can't think of a single reason He would do this. i'm so glad i'm "not running anything."

James/OAR (Of a Revolution)
You said, “Young man, don’t rely on a sword,
Cause your words will outlive even time.”
I’ve counted my blessings. The rest are for you.
Please listen close for a while,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain?
I’ve heard about heaven for years.
Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I’m fine with you here.

I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the world’s accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain?
I’ve heard about heaven for years.
Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I’m fine with you here.

I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
And I don’t feel like crying today.
Why can’t we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain?
I’ve heard about heaven for years.
Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I’m fine with you here.

You said, “Son, just listen to me.”
But I’m doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it’s time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream,
The curtain will fall but behind it I see that you’re here.
