What I No Longer Am

from DINOSAUR VII by Stephen Bard

/

lyrics

Elijah sings
Wisdom of youth
Blood of a saint
Grace of a sailor
You would think in my position I’d be jealous
But the truth is that I’m not
This life is made of what you have and what you haven’t got

And it’s ok
On a beautiful day
Hey I even found some kind of peace along the way
With what I no longer am
Or rather what I never really was

Sure it stings
Miss the parade
Messiah you ain’t
Trace of a failure
You would think in that condition I’d have wilted
But I stayed to write this song
You’re allowed to get it right but you’re supposed to get it wrong

And it’s ok
On a beautiful day
Hey I even found some kind of peace along the way
With what I no longer am
Or rather what I never really was

It’s ok to be ok with yourself
It’s ok to be ok with your life
Getting through the day is a triumph in itself
And even better getting through the night
It’s ok to be ok with yourself
It’s ok to be ok in your mind
The challenge is the way we treat the others who need help
And extra points for actually being kind
