about

Dedicated to Gil Scott Heron (April 1949 - May 2011) “Unique”

lyrics

Ever since we all began
To work and think and dream and plan
The effect of the ascent of man
Has coloured how we understand

We chase the positivity
But sadness really holds the key
It acts like open sesame
To unlocking creativity

To proclaim the end of history
Or that our nature’s just to be happy
Is to mistake our own humanity
As an expression of divinity


Day in day out every day is just like any other day
I’m ok you’re ok and we should all just seize the day

Every cloud has a silver lining but only if you are soul mining
It’s hard to see that the sun is shining when the clouds get in the way

Action is its own reward but I’ve got a life I can’t afford
There’s bills to pay, promises to keep no wonder I can’t get no sleep

I have to prove my own success while still attaining happiness
I eat I drink I sleep I play and this is how I seize the day
