most every night he calls to me
that familiar voice i know so well
his voice calls and i know what it is he wants

he prompts my heart to feel rest against the chaos of my day
his voice whispers to just sleep for now
put away your dreams for the future and work on them later
there's always tomorrow for that kind of thing

since tomorrow never comes all i have is today
all i have is now to work toward my dream
when he comes his call is comfortable
but his company shallow and stale

nothing he offers is what i long for
his offers are those of complacency and he is contentment
his voice is distracting and when i listen
i cease working towards my goals
and i begin the path of settling

settling for less than my best
and for being sort-of-kind-of who i want to be
and going kind-of-close to where i want to go
dreams are meant for sleeping, right?


i will "agape" deeply
but that's gonna take some work
so complacency is NOT an option
and settling isn't on my radar

i want my life to be worth while
an adventrue to say the least
so here i go i'm on the move once again
and looking forward to what i find along the way
