Lyrically Abstract...

A reader sent me an exercise, asking if I could summarize an idea, a thought or a feeling in a few (he's given me a lot of room, here) pieces of lyrics from some of the songs I listen to. He's given me 5 minutes to do it... I'm not one to turn down a challenge, so here goes nothing...

... I am not my hair, I am not my skin... But I've still got sand in my shoes, and I can't chase the thought of you... I'm still dancing to the music of the sun...

... while I try to keep my conversation clean... I know words can't bring me down... but words can break your heart... so here I go again...

... no, I don't like living under your spotlight, still, if you treat me right, you won't have to worry... You are the raindrops, I am the sea... and I won't let you fall... but I need to trust my voice, like my oldest friend...

... if I can dream... somewhere out there... I am only the soul that lives within...

P.S: That was a lot harder than I thought it would be... still, it was pretty exciting to do in 5 minutes!
