Thank You Energy lyrics

"Sure! Hi, yes, I would like to thank all those people

Who helped me in my 25 short, long lived life on earth on here,

On here or over there, and it's all just a matter of time

Before the sunflower meets that!"

Alright, yeah

Now, I'd like to thank you all for having such an effect

On the world in which I live

Now, you can call it a mess

If you want to

But you don't got to

Me, I prefer the connection

That I make with all of the things outside of me

That become reflections of myself

And what I've been called to learn for as long as I shall live

'Til death do me apart from the ego

Filled up with that evil sin

Some say it makes a difference to think about what you consume

Other people just live their life as if we're already doomed

It's in my nature to replace all of those wars with love

But important with the fact that I wanna run

Run, run, run run run run run, but look, look

Some criticize those for not acting like they should

Distracted by the judgment and attached to what they push

Now, you can fight against the beast or you can hug a willow tree

But either way, rain or shine, that pain will find some guilt to feed

"There are more of course, but we won't go into that now."

(There are more of course)

It's filthy when it's polished and it's perfect when it's scarred

No wonder why the conflict we call monster never lost it's heart

When I stop and think about it, I'm already off the mark

Lost inside the space between myself and my idea of making art

Making love, making friends, no doubt I make a difference

There's positive and negative effects of my decisions

And although my dreams are selfish, I hope you can relate

May my attempts at being honest resurrect the fact I'm fake

Tie my pretty pink poodle to a post, I'll make a pledge

To never lose the open mindedness that I possess

And if I do, close down shop and leave, please

Tell the others it's an uphill battle with a trick up it's sleeve

But given the current circumstances and present state of mind

I'll be damned and surprised if they can penetrate my spine beliefs

But if you happen to catch me preaching the so-called truth

Tempt me, call me a liar, gently, press me for some proof

I'll be more than happy to construct a new safe escape

My answer will most likely end in, "all energy changes shape."

"There are more of course, but we won't go into that now."

(There are more of course but we won't go into that now.)

So whether volunteering time at the local nursing home

Or changing someone's flat on the side of the road

It's always up to me and it's always in my control

Whether or not to serve those around me, you know?

And hopefully the times when I do it's rooted out of joy

And not just an obligation that feels impossible to avoid

So I'm happy when I'm here to help and I'm sorry when I'm not

But changing someone else's life is such a complicated thought

"They dance along the waters top and try to make friends

With the heads that bob above the water."
