lyrics

[verse 1]

I love what my eyes have seen
even if it wasn't the nicest scene
but I believe the time Iv been here is steering the vibrant peace of my beliefs
in places so cold spiritual minus five degrees
I still stay warm, no worries
seen miracles in great form,
seen love make hate say sorry
seen good men do bad things
and get away in a hurry
and back then I could only imagine what was in front of me
my eyes always open and my lips see the bliss in closing
I want to witness the uplifted and floating
but also grounded and coping
I want to watch the wind blow rings
out of the fires smoke like me when Im smoking

What images have you seen?
what steps have you taken in life?
some say is a dream
how do you take it ?
how do perceive what you see and stay patient
when picture isn't clear enough
for young know what you facing ?

[chorus] (twice)

Its a cold world
so we’ll keep on lighting fires
keep the light shining
even if the dark is fighting back
its a cold world
we’re fighters and survivors and were tired
but no we wont collapse
I’ve seen some strange things
that change the way my brain thinks
I’ve seen the bad and the good and I'm glad that I could
its the wood to the fire we’re creating

[verse 2]

Iv seen faces with frowns and smiles
felt hatred since a child
its contagious if you let it run wild
I let my problems stack in a pile
made monsters confident and vile
I stopped it but worked on it for a while
now I can see
gonna follow through with my plan indeed
creating something beautiful like planting some seeds
or people dancing in the street
Im not gonna rock with the flock
or rest with with the rest of the geese

the ugliness that people see
its abundant and and its buzzing
like a bunch of busy bees
when a memory is so extreme
its so heavy that you want to scream
louder then you ever screamed
its takes time and effort just to leave it in peace
still it effects me in my dreams gives me restless sleeps
a lot of us have got problems tremendous and deep
when your confidents is forgotten
left so tender and weak

this just a sneak peak of what Iv seen peeps
muddy pits a clean streams
big trees with green leaves
copious amounts of sweet weed
its actually a joke, how much smoke we breath
watch sun set high at the beach
in the water knee deep

[chorus] (twice)

Its a cold world
so we’ll keep on lighting fires
keep the light shining
even if the dark is fighting back
its a cold world
were fighters and survivors and were tired
but no we wont collapse
I’ve seen some strange things
that changed the way my brain thinks.
I’ve seen bad and the good
and I'm glad that I could
its the wood to the fire were creating
