Down in the valley Where the butterflies fly The vibe is easygoing Nobody asks why Why are we here? Where are we going? What’s it all mean? Are the answers worth knowing? No questions No answers No wasted breath given As the butterflies fly It’s the good life They’re livin’
Hot dogs Tank tops Potato chips Flip-flops Convertibles Catchy tunes Splish splash Chill afternoon Sizzlin’ grill Setting sun Fireworks Flash in the sky Snapshots of 4th of July
Watered from above And showered with love This is how a garden grows
Stand tall And know your worth Whether king of the castle Or a pile of dirt Life is what you make it
When you’re feeling stuck Straight out of luck Unsure of where you’re going Remind yourself Of where you’ve been And keep that smile showing Because attitude Will change your mood And good vibes Fueled with drive Will get you Where you’re going
They went to the ocean To watch the waves To let their memories Drift away To the far corners Where earth meets air To a place where dreams Are theirs to share Like pearls plucked As priceless treasures From a sea of endless Possibility
Dry, brown earth Seized with weeds Waits to be churned And planted with seeds Watered, fertilized And tended with love Sealed with a kiss By the sun above Encouraged to grow Into the beautiful bounty It was always Meant to be
Memories are alive They breathe and age With us, like us They’re never the same They shrink and expand With each breath in our lungs They return us to places Where they once had begun They remind us how far We all have come Before whispering, “Your story’s not done.”
At the top of a hill Overlooking the sea Is a little red house In an apple tree It sits empty Waiting patiently For someone to make This house A home
