I call this one, the campfire song song
Let’s gather 'round the campfire, and sing our campfire song
Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you don’t think that we can sing it faster then you’re wrong
But it’ll help if you just sing along
Bum, bum, buuum…
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you don’t think that we can sing it faster then you’re wrong
But it’ll help if you just sing along
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
Patrick!
Song! C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E
Squidward!
Gooood!
It’ll help, it’ll help…
If you just sing along!
Aww, yeah!
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
I think these lyrics are the best I’ve encountered about mental illness and all it entails and the burning desire to do better regardless…from Fugazi. "Waiting Room "
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time, water down a drain
Everybody’s moving
Everybody’s moving
Everybody’s moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don’t leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don’t want the news
I cannot use it
I don’t want the news
I won’t live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody’s always down
Tell me why?
Because, they can’t get up
Come on and get up
Come on and get up
But I don’t sit idly by
I’m planning a big surprise
I’m gonna fight for what I wanna be
And I won’t make the same mistakes ('cause I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes (and function)
Function is the key
To the waiting room
I don’t want the news
I cannot use it
I don’t want the news
I won’t live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody’s always down
Tell me why?
Because, they can’t get up
Come on and get up
Up from the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room (ah)
Sitting in the waiting room (ah)
Sitting in the waiting room (ah)
Sitting in the waiting room (tell me why)
Because, they can’t get up
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines
But when the night is falling
You cannot find the light (light)
You feel your dreams are dying
Hold tight
You’ve got the music in you
Don’t let go
You’ve got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don’t give up
You’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget
We only get what we give
For the rhythm of my heart Is beating like a drum With the words “I love you” rolling off my tongue… Oh, never will I roam For I know my place is home, Where the ocean meets the sky I’ll be sailing.
(Rod Stewart)
So he’ll never roam, however he will be sailing far from home
I can’t wait to watch you get older
I can’t wait to meet that first boy that breaks your life
I can’t wait till you realize the family you’ve been born into
I can’t wait to watch you turn from good to bad
I can’t wait to tell you your grandpa made your mommy play stripper while your uncle watched
I can’t wait to tell you I punched your mommy in the chest in front of her new friends
I can’t wait till you realize mommy’s heart is broken
I can’t wait to watch you grow up around the people who broke it
Everyday in the week I’m in a different city
If I stay too long people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog
Talkin’ about the clothes I wear
But they don’t realize they’re the ones who’s square
Hey!
And that’s why
You can’t hold me down
I don’t want to be down I gotta move on
Ah
Stone free to do what I please
Stone free to ride the breeze
Stone free I can’t stay
I got to got to got to get away right now
