Exist Animated
I wanted to share the lyrics for one of the songs I wrote recently. Hope you like it! The beat that goes along with it is mellow and jazzy. I've recorded a rough draft version and am quite happy with the result. I'll record the final version and do some touch ups with it within the next couple of weeks. It'll probably be up on my myspace page relatively soon (www.myspace.com/eyeoflayman)
TITLE: Exist Animated
/Say “yes” to this gift of life we get
one try,
so strive to exist animated by the Most High, the All-Wise./
Say “yes” to the tests that arrive,
for they refine
and bless your progress in time.
To manifest your best in the face of trials and tests
requires daily diligence
inspired solely by the Source
we accept
this expressed endeavor to remain heaven-sent.
So we say “yes” to this gift of life we get
one try,
so we strive to exist animated by the Most High...
say “blessed”
if you feel the vibe.
Never stress, even if the swords rain blows upon your necks,
let your heart remain content.
Even if the world was to rise and flex,
your steps would be unaffected if kept steadfast. Reflect
on the Prophet's path to gain the strength to surpass
every massive catastrophe crafted by apathy...
Be calm like the dawn and imagine the days that await us beyond.
Be as the breeze, unrestrained, but respond to the needs of the day.
Be as the bravest of Davids,
but believe that Goliath can change without violence.
Be as a writer who frees his mind from the tyrants
then seizes the silence and feeds on the brightest of beams
that descend from the unseen, where the sun streams
from the Source to the soul
to uplift up your whole
with a force unmeasurable.
/Say “yes” to this gift of life we get
one try,
so we strive to exist animated by the Most High, the All-Wise./
Say “arise”
as you glide through the sky.
Say “arise”
as you fly through your mind.
Say “arise”
as you strive to abide by the calling of your heart.
Say “arise”
Now act on your words,
cuz the task is to serve, unswerving in the path,
and with courage come with tact
to encourage current masses
with fervent verses purposed to pass just verbage.
Learn this,
than detach from the earth,
for the turf and the factions
are immersed in what has been,
but a breath everlasting
has emerged to revitalize the souls to return from whence they roam
and unearth a fertile home where the wanderers can go
to regenerate their whole and refocus on their goals.
Now uphold the path and
say “yes” to this gift of life we get
one try,
so we strive to exist animated by the Most High.
Say “arise”
for the sky is limitless, this benefits the wise
yet the Missives that are written by the Most High
rise
beyond every level that we're on
and defines what reality applies to existence and what dies.
Open up your inner eye
and gaze upon the grace of God that guides your soul to rise,
then your mind will seek to find the peaks inside
and reach up high to see horizon's redefined.
The state of time and space will fade away without a trace,
but a better plane awaits when unfettered by the world's weights.
What a waste would our time on earth be
if we followed earthly
purposes and never burst free.
But the mercy
of He is infinite,
immerse me!
in the spirit so I burst free
Can you hear it?!
I am thirsty!
Immerse me!
In the spirit so I burst free!
You can hear it!
And I feel it in my soul
personally!
I'm learnin' to be
fertile and free,
part of the sea
(pardon my flaws)
part of the breeze
blowin' beyond,
please!
Give me the strength
never to fade
or sever my aims.
Forever I'll pray
to better the day
and we'll never be left in the rain...
Be calm like the dawn and imagine the days that await us beyond.
Be as the breeze, unrestrained, but respond to the needs of the day...
Say “blessed”
if you feel the vibe.
Never stress, even if the swords rain blows upon your necks,
let your heart remain content.
Even if the world was to rise and flex,
your steps would be unaffected if kept steadfast. Reflect
on the Prophet's path to gain the strength to surpass
every massive catastrophe crafted by apathy.
