Through It All Lyrics

I am always trying

To take better care of myself

To take better care of my family

And my loved ones

My friends

Neighbors

Community

The human species

I want everyone to thrive and be happy

I want everyone to feel alive

I shop local

Support small businesses

And believe in the divine power and freedom for and of all individuals

I buy organic and grass fed meat and dairy from farmers in my state

I care about and prioritize the health of the soil in my yard

And do not use any chemicals

I respect and love all things nature

Mother Earth makes me feel at home

I love listening to the birds sing

I love relaxing in the sun

Cooking

Spending time with my family and loved ones

Making music

Writing poems

Reading books

Walking barefoot on the earth

Swimming

Growing food in the garden

I love trees and flowers

And watching sunsets

And going to the beach

And playing the piano

And eating delicious food

And having meaningful conversations

And feeling love

I love laughing and smiling

And I love making other people laugh and smile

I want to inspire other humans to live a joyful, peaceful, healthy, fun, simple, wholesome life

Full of creativity and beauty

And love and happiness and laughter

Full of wisdom and truth

And integrity and harmony

Full of walking, reading, moving, praying, dancing, singing, nature, breathing, jumping, sleeping

I am working towards a more noble mind & character

Life doesn't have to be as hard as we make it

I value modesty and generosity

The feminine and the masculine

Honesty and an even temper

We must endure hardship and reduce our needs

Work with our hands and mind our business

We are artful and creative beings by nature

Allow yourself to express and create

I've come to discover the importance of self reliance, self accountability, self responsibility, and self sufficiency

And the disease caused by resentment, jealousy and hostility

I want to do good to others

I want others to do good to others

I like when people are optimistic and cheerful

Yet I see the potential and necessity in all energy

I want to be gentle and dignified

I want to do what I have to do without complaining

I want my mind to be a kind place

I want to act with the best of intentions

My only judgement is intention

I often wonder what life really is

Am I awake? Or is this a dream?

But then I remember not to take life too seriously

A good sense of humor will carry us through

I want to be good and witty company

I want to carry my innocence and purity in all seasons of life

Are you inspired by your life?

Do you spend good time away from your cell phone?

Away from all technology?

Life is what you make it

Do you know who you've been?

On all the different pages

All the different stages

All the different phases and seasons

From the womb

To infancy

To childhood

To high school

To adulthood

To parent

To grandparent

To great grandparent

Through it all

Through it all

Through it all

Our lives are unique to us

And one day we will return to the stars

Hopefully!

And the cycle will cycle on

I try to remain a child at heart

What are you afraid of and who taught you to fear it?

I ask myself, "What is my role in bringing heaven to earth?"

I want to make people feel loved and safe and warm and understood and appreciated and seen and felt and inspired

I remind myself to be like nature

I'm grateful to experience the gift of life

I'm grateful to be passionate enough to write about it
