you'll find my heart at my center of gravity; wrapped up in laughter, school work, and tragedy

march of the penguins

these are the lyrics. this is the song. this is spring time to me. from my youth.

out like a lamb Written by Brian Vander Ark © 1993 Sid Flips Music/EMI April Music Inc. (ASCAP). Lyrics reprinted by kind permission.

i'm feeling very moses like you think that i could lead you?
or humble, more like david would you help me cause i need you?
or i'll be charismatic with the power to persuade you

supposing i'm a saviour or a drunkard, or your highness
you slither in these sheets and then you ask me for forgiveness
i'll tell you parables of making love and spreading kindness

flames rise like butterflies
been frightened by my stompin'
i'm laughing 'cause they don't know who i am
the philistines toss tangerines
'cause springtime is for dancing
in like a lion and out like a lamb

goliath sits and watches tired of this investigation
so children grab your M-16s and load your ammunition
i will work all night rewrite the book of revelations

flames rise like butterflies
been frightened by my stompin'
i'm laughing 'cause they don't know who i am
the philistines toss tangerines
'cause springtime is for dancing
in like a lion and out like a lamb

now go and tune your guitars
and i'll meet you here tomorrow
grab that case of scotch
it's all the courage you can swallow
i'll burn for all your sins
but i'm expecting you to follow

flames rise like butterflies
been frightened by my stompin'
i'm laughing 'cause they don't know who i am
the philistines load magazines
'cause springtime is for dancing
in like a lion and out like a lamb

SPRINGTIME:
My life my life my life my life
In the sunshine
Feel what I feel what I feel what I feel what I'm feelin
In the sunshine
Just bees and things and flow-was
Folks get down in the sunshine
Folks get brown in the sunshine
My life my life my life my life
In the sunshine!

That's Roy Ayers, baby, and I would highly recomend a day in the car with the heat up and the windows down blastin dat.
