lyrics

"On Mardi Gras"

How do we spend
The time we are all given here
What do we send
A world that is so full of fear

The struggles are real
At the start of a very long day
How long will it last,
What did we come here to say?

Now I look down
Shuffle along with the crowd
Where do I go
The noise it can be so loud

I read and I read
Struggle my way to some light
Retract from the fight
I fast from the world and I write


CHORUS:

What can I do, what can I see, what can i be here
(What do I have here to show?)
So much to learn, so much to see, let go of the fear
(Is there some truth I can know?)
Make use of time, step out of line, stand up and be clear
(It can be hard to let go)
Be Clear, On Mardi Gras

Let go of us, let go of them, let go of last year
(They say that all things must pass)
Watch what you read, watch what you learn, enter a new sphere
(It all seems to be moving fast)
Try not to judge, try not to hate, let go of the fear
(Gonna find me something that will last)
Be Here, On Mardi Gras

OTHER THINGY:

Look out now it’s Mardi Gros
Here we go it’s Mardi Gras
Seems every year I write a song
Sitting right here on Mardi Gras
My time to go inside, a warm place to hide
Siting right here on Mardi Gras

Dont get me wrong I used to go
Had me a 1000 beers or so
Really really did enjoy the show
But there are other things I want to know
