"miracle"

from the album surf by donnie trumpet & the social experiment

 

"if it's a miracle

to be alive and well -

it's a miracle!

(it's a miracle, it's a miracle)"

 

2)

from the thoughts of a person who feels trapped (as soon as they wake up)

 

like the sun

be free

like the sun

rage against the dying of the light

there's no day but today -

the day you create

like the sun.

 

3)

from the thoughts of a person in love (with the idea of being in love)

 

who makes this world worth living in?

myself

(no, no, not me!)

who makes this world worth living in?

you

(but i love her.)

who makes this world worth living in?

everyone

(i love all human beings.)

who makes this world worth living in?

no one

(i don't love anyone.)

who makes this world worth living in?

someone

(who are you waiting for?)

who makes this world worth living in?

myself

(who are you waiting for?)

who makes this world worth living in?

 

4)

from the thoughts of a person who sees no hope for tomorrow

 

tomorrow

isn't real

tomorrow

is naught

but something you created yourself

 

nothing exists but

today

if you fail

today

 

it's so hard to wake up

tomorrow

it's so easy to wake up

tomorrow

 

try again

tomorrow.

 

5)

from the thoughts of a person who sees no beauty in the world

 

maybe

the world will have its wonder in our eyes once more

if we stop seeing the sun rising

as 5 am

if we stop seeing the sun setting

as 7 pm.

 

6)

from the thoughts of a person who sees no reason for living

 

perhaps life has no meaning

perhaps only we give it meaning.

 

7)

from the thoughts of a person who can't see life getting better

 

...life doesn't get better!

(only you do)

 

8)

from the thoughts of a person who doesn't love themselves

 

i can't learn to love others

if i can't learn to love

...myself.

 

9)

"pass the vibes"

from the album surf by donnie trumpet & the social experiment

 

"she had some vibes for me

i had no vibes for her (no vibes)

she passed them on to me

i have some vibes for her (i've got the vibes!)"
