It started with a simple dream
a single mom, an apartment on the lake
and a blue computer screen
Two Ikea colored filled rooms
seagulls singing songs in the late afternoon
Just below the balcony on a bed of grass
unblemished was the set of her new beginnings
But she didn't know, not while she was living in it
All she had was where she'd been
her eyes focused on the computer screen
Beautiful day, Beautiful day, Beautiful day,
in the neighborhood
He's got a blue electric motorcycle
and he zooms through the kitchen
Then he swishes passed her swiveled chair
She feels the cool breeze of his creative air
and she just sits there
Gone are the solidified words which so passionately
possessed her just a few months ago
Gone are the concerns that kept her from her desires
The things she couldn't see through
not while she was in it
and so it was born, a plan
because the dream is all she had in the first place
So off she went left the shore for a temporary apartment
a step side ward, while onward she worked on the side
An old stove full of someone's lonely past
a broken pool in the basement, a small dark sauna
not the aqua blue the fresh waves that she longed for
she slept alone and rode the night
because this side turn produced many of fights
but she needed this as they say
to build character - Musical break
She followed the tricycle down the path
where she once walked to find solace on the water front
which clothed her with the rays
enough to fill the early morning bike ride
to the day care up the road
her little boy in the back seat singing songs like
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
- short musical pause after trumpet
Beautiful day, Beautiful day, Beautiful day,
in the neighborhood
Then there came another side turn
because when you've got goals
there are only side turns, no back turns
but then she took a dive because
she loves diving into things
because each flight is a good lesson
she learns that what was once a struggle
becomes food for thought
so out of her soul encounters
she was able to progress
you see finding herself
has become her major accomplishment to date
Because it lead her to what truly matters
