From above I dove below

From above I dove below, pushed the boat, when couldn’t row

Took a yes, and made a no, life is tough but what a show!

Always challenged, always forced, this is how I learned to live,

I’m consuming what I sourced, nevermind what I achieved.

Every morning say Shema, every Friday cause the light,

Channel positive through old and avoid the fight and fright. 

Yes, I wish that I was strong. Just enough to stay alive.

Yes, I like the extra stuff, all beyond the 9 to 5.

I will never switch my brain to become somewhat compliant,

Life without love becomes like Anteros on a diet.

Taking chances all my life, risks are always calculated.

That’s the biggest lie of all, look at you, are you elated?

What’s the purpose of your goals? Have you any aspirations?

Patience always hard to reach, as you’re feeling trepidatious.

Playing chess, not looking back, making moves, I’m always ready.

From above I get my strength, that’s my honest, true and steady.
