Be - Stephen Kellogg

If I didn’t know better

I’d say that the world turned

Just as fast as I could mend all the bridges that I burn

Mother told me it would be like this

And that the fairy-tale had been spun

When you live with bees you’re bound to get stung

When I can’t shut my mind because I’ve got to make that call

To save all my old girlfriends and those I don’t recall

From all collective sadness and memories of me

And show them I am genuine and that I am not a bee

BE, BE just BE

It’s always nice to be the leader

And even nicer to have space

On the cosmic side of logic

Someone told me there is a place

Where there’s a synthesis of nature

And fearless people who believe

That there’s a safe place in the hornets nest

Of which too few of us conceive

BE, BE just BE

BE me, just BE me

In the absence of the chaos, a space of silence fills the room

And I realize that when I run this race

It’s just myself that I consume

When all your arbitrary concepts fade

Like time, property and words

To feel my senses on a mountain top

Oh to be a bumble bird

As she pulls her zipper up I start to disappear

Through all of those whispered words

There’s none I can even hear

Even though without her, I stand here gentle and alone

A single tree at Inisfree

And a hive to call my own

BE BE just BE

Who do you want to be?
