Bora born
Flip - flop _
Cherry ripes and cherry tears
now sit down son, so you can hear
a story of the phantoms face
masks that blind the human race.
Wipe away those tears my boy
and flip your fears to feel the joy.
There's something that you need to know
big boys too, should let it flow.
So what you cry for little man
is it so hard to feel your pain?
Do you feel there's something wrong?
Lost your love that makes you strong?
What you think, where did it go
have you searched high and low
looking for that illusive thing
the happiness that love can bring.
Put your smile on, sad sad face
to see if you can tempt your fate
to try and find that illusive thing
and flip those happy thoughts again.
Search around you, high and low
now those feelings, where did they go.
Look for them, but they'll find you
but there's something you must do.
In an instant just flick your mind
let yourself fill anothers' time
leave yourself, have a rest
align your spirit, serve anothers'' first.
Now there you go, what did we say
it seems they never went away.
So it must be in your mind
mental thoughts that love can't find.
Within his mind we rest each day
a mental creation that shows the way.
Resistance leaves the pain and hurt
as feelings flip with each mental burst.
So what is this, coming your way
well, it's your story to have it's say
to let us see what you've got
plenty of pain, you kid us not.
Sweet and simple in endless spin
thoughts that judge, cause the grief and pain
so detach the behaviour, it's the phantoms' face
to unmask your reflection, in the human race.
