Hey...Man




So I thought I was gonna post some of my favorite lyrics from mineral songs. Here goes. Disclaimer: I'm not down. I do miss my wife. Mayo keeps taking her away from me.


I only hope that you could be proud of me.

How blessed we are.

When I was a boy I saw things
That no one else could see
So why am I so blind at twenty-two
To the hope that is all around me
Filling up this room

Sometimes I read and reread
The birthday card you sent me

The humble and righteous and meek
Are teaching me who's will to seek

I wouldn't mind if you took me in my sleep tonight
I wouldn't even put up a fight
I wouldn't care if you took it all away today
I'm sure I wouldn't even miss the pain

How will I drink from that stream
How will my heart sing your praise
How will I lay down in green grass fields
When my soul is so afraid to
Rejoice.

I wanted to tell her how beautiful she was
But I just stared

With my arms out like a scarecrow
