Listen to Of Tenderness Charmed by Richard Charles Stevens (Believer Suite)

the world is right here
in our palm

.

life can be cruel
thus i choose to be kind
search for the good within all human kind
live for today so tomorrow can find me
leave myself clues in the hope they’ll remind me
alter my course and then venture forth blindly
spare sparing thoughts for all those who despise me
speak to the many with chosen few words
seek to enrapture through chapter and verse
.
something for nothing and nothing perverse
not one for bluffing of cunning averse
such is forthcoming when numbing our senses
asking attack as to where best defence is
suddenly life takes on different complexion
little but object of lesser affection
should i make friends then i do so for keeps
such is my chosen direction

(affection)
.

maybe just maybe with blind faith unchanging
the world is right here
in our palm

.

maybe just maybe with blind faith unchanging
the world is right here
in our palm

(raise alarm)

.

the world is right here

the world is right here

the world is right here
in our palm

.

the world is right here

the world is right here

the world is right here
in our palm

.
dare to be different
considered of heart
feast on the breadcrumbs in each piece of art
reach for the skies and make prize of the stars
do so of tenderness charmed
.
life can be cruel
thus i choose to be kind
leave all the anal retention behind
search for the good within all human kind
make the vows true blue hearts bind

.
we may not speak for a week month or year
yet through words like these
we are never more near
said at the start
i’d be true real sincere
every last artery crystalline clear
so much we say can be misunderstood
but i have blind faith
one fine day we’ll come good
look through the trees to the spellbinding wood
rise from our knees and release mourner’s hood
should we make friends
we should make them for keeps
populate shouldn’t with reasons we should
build the foundations
remain forward facing
embracing with grace every dream famed for chasing
enemies translating friends for the making
this is how we tend to reawaken
.

reach for the skies and make prize of the stars
do so of tenderness charmed
.
life is less cruel
when we choose to be kind
search for the good within all human kind
all of us fall
the cool trick is to rise
put out the call
deny cruel to be kind
should we make friends
then for keeps not pretend
we have and hold something unique to no end
.

should we make friends
