mantra

pretty good words to live by; written by Dan Shafer, put into a song by Kepi Ghoulie. if i could have said it better, i would have...



Take a Look

you keep hopin' some day you'll have it all
it keeps your mind chasin' dreams down a slick and darkened hall
you just can't be happy with what you've got
unless you own the whole damn lot

think about what you have instead of what you don't have
and you will find that you're doin' better than most
when you finally hold the things you've been longin' for
you immediately think about the next

have you ever looked around you
have you ever enjoyed the moment
have you ever let yourself just simply be

can you think of strengths that you have
instead of what you think you need
did you ever question what you believe

grass just gets greener on the other side
while the moment keeps passin' by
and it will never be good enough
to appreciate what's always there

and if you take a look
well alright
