Horton from Tide Pools by Wic Whitney

On my feet, I feel the beat like satin sheets
I'm sleeping in I’ll sleep for weeks
And from my dreams a masterpiece
My peace of mind might be released
Like doves after Micheal was free
To go, to go or stay, to blow or sway
To grow from taking all the hate from you
Make no mistake I’m taking in all of your kindness too
And to everyone saying that their voices don’t come through
Let me reiterate that Hortons hear Whos, Romeo hears Juliet
And I’m your dude

I am awake
I am awake and I'm moving
Moving towards you
You are the sun and the moon and the stars
And I am warm
Warm from the wonder I see, this is real
Real surreal but it's real

Please take a bow, please take a bow
Throw all those roses, throw all those roses
Life is right now, life is right now
Smell all those roses, smell all those roses
Life can turn brown, life can turn brown
Water those roses, water those roses
Life can astound, life can astound
Look at those roses, so many roses

I wish these trees could say I’m beautiful
I wish these boulders could be shoulders
I could lean on and listen to
I know these thoughts must seem unusual
But lately dandelions give me the joys that humans do
I’mma write happy songs, smiley face and laughing songs
Songs Ira could dance to and sing most the lyrics wrong
Happy like a hug from Hannah when my day was long
Happy like the first time fellas see their ladies thongs
Or partners thongs, lord knows I don’t give a fuck

Lord I know we don’t speak often like I gave you up
To be honest I don’t know where I’m at
But I know I’m not stuck in the mud
Like pairs of tractor tracks, backtracking these magic acts
Lacking belief facts are facts, no white or black
And honestly to me that’s where the livings at
Because I always liked color better anyway
So like I’m terrified of Liam Neeson
I’ll avoid the gray and enjoy the rainy days
And the rainy days to come
Because that’s where life comes from
And for me to ignore the clouds
Would be the same as me shunning the sun and I
I don’t be numb, no I don’t want to be numb

Rain makes the roses
Rain makes the roses
Rain makes the roses
