Life is About People

By: George Waldrop

human nature, comfort in the mind
in my mind's eye, I see the people that pass me by
in my minds eye, I can see their faces of why
in my mind's eye, they can't understand this life
it's like no one ever told them, life is people

human frailty, perception through the senses
when my heart does cry, I see the people that pass me by
when my heart does cry, I can see their faces of why
when my heart does cry, they can't understand this life
to be lost from within, always coming back, start all over again

human force, personality influence with pacifism
when weakness shows through, I see the people that pass me by
when weakness shows through, I can see their faces of why
when weakness shows through, they can't understand this life
once is the chance we have at this life, chance to make it right

human pain, so many people suffer being so far from their heart
the misery of being lost into fantasy, I see the people that pass me by
the misery of being lost into fantasy, I can see their faces of why
the misery of being lost into fantasy, they can't understand this life
the problems we create within the wants, living beyond our means

human needs, happiness felt in the night, seeing the new morning
in need of love, I see the people that pass me by
in need of love, I can see their faces of why
in need of love, they can't understand this life
I will teach my world, people who are this, not to be treated as that

Who's Afraid of the Rain

Hometown Reality

By: George Waldrop

I hold you in high personal regard

the idea of respecting others as a lifestyle

shows that your life can be what you make it

reflect the respect of the excellence of you

thinking how right and wrong are not a feeling

dwell in your mental hovel of unsaid words to yourself

standing in your doorway with unexpressed left over emotions

peace of mind, clear conscience, clean hands of the good

People of Recovery

the regaining of something lost
the finding of something taken away
don't underestimate my abilities
for it's my ability that holds true to my recovery
I found this art in my heart of hearts
a friend in need, you will be freed, open to be with me
alone together our time conjointly with one another
I hope we can learn to see this recovery for what it is
how it's really real when we work together
I know how awesome a friendship can be
I know how goodness brings on security
a comfortable contented confidence
I am opening the door to our soundness
wholeness for the wise of heart
the meaning of desire, yearning to be healthy
we need to see and feel this meaningful union
I must be mindful, the time is now for this truth
I believe in togetherness, I must be mindful
I sure can't live on dreams and fantasy
for it's living in fantasy that leads to suffering
and those dreams are only in your head
until we come together to celebrate one another
what will people think when we collectively
show sound therapeutic practice for each other
there is a place for us all in the community
the mental ill with our addictive personalities
the addicts with our displacement of feelings
our troubles, our art and our integrity
everyone can learn from the people of recovery
