Balance

by Phil Laws   Jan 20, 2008


Searching for balance in despair
It's just much more difficult when you care
Trying to get it right at any cost
But when emotion overpowers, all perspective is lost
Searching for balance everywhere
Anyone's answers could be worth the fare
So I'll share with you a few things I've learned
A deserving man's still gotta give ta get it returned

        You've got to give love for it to be your due
        Gotta have peace within to find it around you
        You've got to give trust to get back lattitude
        Gotta have freedom in your mind or feel subdued

Searching for balance to break clear
From all the make believe we'd rather hear
Belief in fairy tales drives faith to die
It always seems to end with the truth when it starts with a lie
Searching for balance less severe
Than inactivity brought on by fear
Progress is synonymous with a move
You gotta give practice to anything for it to improve
        You've got to give love for it to be your due
        Gotta have peace within to find it around you
        You've got to give trust to get back lattitude
        Gotta have freedom in your mind or feel subdued

Searching for balance to aspire
Instead of crave then think we can't acquire
As relations where we assign degree
There's not much as destructive as perceived inequality
Searching for balance to inspire
Sentiment and truth to see past attire
And keep the beauty they find in thier view
You gotta give a look to many things if you guage value

        You've got to give love for it to be your due
        Gotta have peace within to find it around you
        You've got to give trust to get back lattitude
        Gotta have freedom in your mind or feel subdued

Searching for balance in labor
Rather than doing less and demanding more
Insight unsung does not invite reprieve
Aiming at each step of a goal instills more ease to achieve
Searching for balance to explore
How faulty focus is at failures core
Dreams without drive are bad for time they burn
You gotta give hard work in anything to expect return

        You've got to give love for it to be your due
        Gotta have peace within to find it around you
        You've got to give trust to get back lattitude
        Gotta have freedom in your mind or feel subdued

Searching for balance of posture
In reaction to success and failure
To be the same person in high or low
And not make one small thing affect how any other could go
Searching for balance to be sure
Faith in regression still puts-off pleasure
Confidence is the key to turn and cope
You gotta give hope to constructive ends or end without hope

        You've got to give love for it to be your due
        Gotta have peace within to find it around you
        You've got to give trust to get back lattitude
        Gotta have freedom in your mind or feel subdued

Searching for balance in despair
It's just much more difficult when you care
