Once upon my twenties, 92 years worth of timely and encouraging wisdom met with me at the base of a big rock in Berkeley. This weekend on the podcast, I’m sharing the experience that inspired track No. 3 on my upcoming album, ‘at Dusk,’ which releases Feb 29!!
Like Math (Butterfly Wings)
Rebekkah The Band
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE
YOU'RE YOUNG
SO MY EYES HAVE SEEN A FEW MORE THINGS
THIS FOG, IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE
MY HOME , TWO BERKELEY STORIES ON YOUR FAVORITE STREET
IT'S NOT WHERE I WAS GROWN
IT TOOK SOME TIME AND FAITH AND ENERGY
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE
LIKE MATH, LIFE REQUIRES SOME CONSISTENCY
ASK ME HOW I KNOW ~
MY COURAGE PAID FOR MY DEGREES
MY WIFE AND I HAVE FED AND CLOTHED
FOUR PAIRS OF BUTTERFLY WINGS
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE
YOU'RE YOUNG
SO BE PATIENT WITH YOUR BUTTERFLY WINGS
LIFE TAKES TIME, DON'T FIXATE ON THE SPEED
YOU HAVE TIME , DON'T WASTE IT LIVING RESTLESSLY
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE
~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~
