picture yourself walking
out there on the road
looking out for traffic
doing as you’re told
picture yourself waiting
with nothing on the shelf
you’re spending time like money
never known such wealth
time to turn it over
a new leaf will come up
found a three leaf clover
let’s blame it on your luck
speak easy
don’t lie
don’t just picture it
picture yourself
Tell a story
ask why
don’t just picture it
picture yourself
Picture yourself helping
out to lend a hand
there are many ways my son to
make a better man
gentle isn’t weak
and these weeks can turn to days
hope you find your feet
as you slowly make your way
Picture yourself hiding
a portrait underground
when the leaves start rustling wildly
you’ll know that you’ve been found
looking for perspective
to see and feel something new
Without a clear objective
you can still enjoy the view
speak easy
don’t lie
don’t just picture it
picture yourself
Tell a story
ask why
don’t just picture it
picture yourself
Picture yourself smiling
it doesn’t mean there won’t be tears
but when your heart gets broken
you can picture yourself here
somewhere in your bloodstream
a river underground
your favorite kind of ice cream
a warm embracing sound
Picture yourself sailing
in a boat out on the sea
a view filled with the horizons
everywhere you look you’ll see
and if that line of sight is broken
by a veil of happy tears
Tell yourself a secret that
only you can hear
speak easy
don’t lie
don’t just picture it
picture yourself
Tell a story
ask why
don’t just picture it
picture yourself
