Do you know that feeling
when the world is
not yet awake
but still asleep and
you're grinning like a fool
and dancing in the dark
and laughing at nothing
because you're so damn happy
that everything seems so beautiful?
Do you know that feeling
when you've read
a good book and
it changes the way
you see things
even for just a minute
or you hear an amazing song
and it inspires you
to do something
you've never done
and be someone
you've never been
and you're loving it
because it's the thrill of change?
Do you know that feeling
when you don't care
about what your friends
think of you
and you don't care
what you're parents
think of you
and you don't even care
what complete strangers
who may or may not be extremely cute
think of you
because you're too busy
loving what you think of you?
Do you know that feeling
when you just want to go out
and make some music
and fall in love
and find someone who cares
enough to get to know you
and you're running
and throwing your arms in the air
for anyone to pick you up
and take you home
and never let you go
because you think
you're finally understanding?
Do you know that feeling
when life seems so large
and the possibilities are endless
and you don't want to think
about reality
or money
or jobs
or colleges
because you have
a perfectly good imagination
and a perfectly good love
that the whole wide world
could use a dose of?
Do you know that feeling
when your breath is rushing
and your lungs are screaming
and you're singing
as loud as you can
to let it all out
and to let everyone hear you
because finally you are
ready and waiting
to be really
and truly heard?
Do you know that feeling
when you're completely
and utterly liberated
from yourself
and everything that has been
tying you down
and you feel so light
that you could float on air
and 'Walk on the Moon'
like that song
from The Police
and you just want to
go up
and up
because you know that
you're never coming down?
Do you know that feeling
when you're high on life
and living
and not on drugs
or alcohol
and you can't believe
that all of these things
are happening to you
and you feel so lucky
to be breathing
and to have blood
pumping through your veins
that you grab on
to the person next to you
and laugh
and dance
and sing
because you're living life
the way you want to?
Do you know that feeling
when your dreams
seem so far off
and then something sparks in you
and begins an avalanche of feelings
and you just start writing
and singing
and dancing
and laughing
and yelling
and screaming
and throwing your hands up in the air
and not caring
and floating
and loving
and making music
and inspiring
and seeing things differently
and living
because you know that
eventually in this
messed-up,
crazy,
fragmented world
that everything will fall into place?
