Story behind the song
Awhile back I ended up with Leon Russell's drum machine.
I wrote 20 songs around everything left on it and there were 9 that he arranged which are denoted by the number he saved them on the machine as being included in the title, for example (Song 01).
I also included alternate versions of those 9 songs as instrumentals.
Lyrics
all is dark until exposed to the light
begin again in the black in the dark as all things in nature
Begin anew adventure looking into the dark
Never looking back
There will never be enough time to do all I want to do
There will never be enough time to start everything a I want a new
To paint things as they ought to be
Not the monstrously cynical unconcouslly naive society
Playing the game of seriousness to hide its madness
I am not the clown
Though time steals the beauty of our former selves
What you give you will recieve
may it be I desire more than I achieve
Not to aim to high an miss but aim to low an attain
All there is is never tiresome
Only we cease curiosity appreciation
a new point of view
youll forever walk the earth with your eyes to the sky
longing to return if you ever flew
All The universe is in our minds and hands
I am proud but tired
Take the paint an create your own
What you give you will recieve
Speak damn you speak
Draw, draw, draw and dont waste time
Take the paint an create your own
Speak damn you speak and dont waste time
