One Day I Could See It (Lyrical Tuesdays)

OK, kidding.  I've not decided to make every Tuesday "Lyrical", but posting these lyrics today is what I'd like to share.  A side note to this song is that my son and I have jammed on our acoustic guitars countless times to this tune.  He loves it.  Of course what happens is I end up playing the song and singing the lyrics and Hud stands there with his guitar doing his best interpretation of one of the Avett Brothers (the taller one....we saw them on the grammys and hud was hooked).

Anyhow, here's most of the lyrics:

Head Full of Doubt
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it


When nothing is owed, deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out......


A Head Full of Doubt??  Oh yes, that's been me.  "What am I doing?".  "How stupid could I be?".  "This idea to make furniture for love, it will never work!"

But as I let go of these nagging questions, I see it clearly. It's not about the furniture, it's not about the practicalities. It's about letting go and stepping into this mysterious unknown step by step, letting The Mystery lead us the whole way, and not worrying about what it will all turn out to be.  And in doing that...we're the bird once in a cage, but now set free.

Oh, and as far as jamming with my son, Hud and I have moved on to Coldplay. (sorry avett bros, we still love yall) So it's all Politik and Viva La Vida now!! We're just doing our best to get ready for their new release this fall...bring it!! 

Wait!...bonus lyrics.  I find myself walking around the house singing "If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady, would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?"...Kelly hasn't started picking up the duet part yet, but I'm giving it time.
