All At Once, The World Can Overwhelm You

I’ve been known to post lyrics on my blog that resonate with me. This latest bit of prose is from Jack Johnson’s new album, called “Sleep Through The Static.” I am going to see Jack in concert on the 8/30 in Irvine. Drop me a comment if you like the song or are going to the show.

All at once,
The world can overwhelm me
There’s almost nothing that you could tell me
That could ease my mind

We keep asking ourselves
Are we really strong enough?
There’s so many things
That we got too proud of
We’re too proud of

I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
And instead we’ll plant some seeds
We’ll watch them as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches, well they reach for what?

There’s a world we’ve never seen
There’s still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all could blow away
With a breeze
But if your waiting on the wind
Don’t forget to breathe
Because as the darkness gets deeper
We’re sinkin as we reach for love
