monkey mind (lyrics for new song poem)

monkey mind

 

 

monkey mind, monkey mind

makes you crazy, makes you blind

takes you on a trip so far

you don’t know just who you are

 

take you out to sea for free

keeps you in the wind you see,

that monkey mind will do you in

faster than a jet tail spin

 

childhood memories in your mind

stories singing down thru time

voices from the past still talking

as you do your daily walking

 

echoes from your walking dreams

ripple thru the trembling leaves

lightning cracks your open sky

it’s monkey mind, monkey mind

 

monkey mind, monkey mind

makes you crazy, makes you blind

takes you on a trip so far

you don’t know just who you are

 

 

every step your feet will take

leads you closer to your fate

monkey mind takes you off course

so keep your heart in truths full force

 

people tell you many lies

their behavior they deny

keep your eyes on your desire

never let your will expire

 

 

 

 

 

it’s monkey mind, monkey mind

makes you crazy, makes you blind

takes you on a trip so far

you don’t know just who you are

 

 

 

monkey mind, monkey mind

go thru life and you will find

what you thought was  true is not

what you thought was cold is hot

 

just one puzzle piece is missing

is it your true love that your kissing

all you travels, all your tears

make you tougher than your years

 

it’s monkey mind, monkey mind

dancing you thru time

it’s monkey mind, monkey mind

serving up some some jive

 

it’s monkey mind, monkey mind

dancing you thru time

it’s monkey mind, monkey mind

serving up some some jive
