[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lastMinuteChecks.mp3|titles=Last Minute Checks]You say that
you’re climbing
Always inspiring, without a clue
You say you’re still growing
Only unfolding, now look at you
When you’re positively,
Floating on empty, what can you do?
You’re totally open,
Made to be broken, then pull on through?
Now it’s time to go,
get caught up in the flow,
another place to be
For every minute lost,
there’s a wishing penny tossed,
into a wishing sea.
My mind always wanders,
Gets carried out onwards, Gets pulled away
I’m scratching the surface,
And feeding the furnace, to harden my clay
We’re hopelessly drawn to,
The light we were born to, hit headfirst
We’re fruitlessly fighting,
The changes conspiring, ready to burst.
Now it’s time to go,
get caught up in the flow,
another place to be
For every minute lost,
there’s a wishing penny tossed,
into a wishing sea
And still it’s surprising
The future is rising, out of the air
But we are just tourists,
We hurry right through it, too quick to care.
You say you’re deciding,
When you’re confiding, close as you dare.
I know we’re still changing,
But waiting is aging, I’ll see you there.
Now it’s time to go,
get caught up in the flow,
another place to be
For every minute lost,
there’s a wishing penny tossed,
into a wishing sea.
Right about now
You’re right about how
A better place to be…
For every minute lost,
there’s another penny tossed,
into a wishing sea.
