(A lone voice whispers)
Have you ever stepped inside
The cleansing purple transformational circle of emotional fire
Some call it a mid-life crisis
Some a new awakening
And been absolved of all your worldly sins
Been burnt metaphysically and spiritually
To be purified of nearly all your old personal whims
Are you now baptised and reborn to live past twenty twenty-two
Past all the seas of relentless fear trying to drown you
But still drinking warm new Costa coffee
Swirling just lost down lifes seemingly never-ending routines
Do not fear the future but now chase all those old dreams
Which you still unconsciously nurture
For you can create your own version of heaven and then still serve her
Are you still on the road seeking new stories as they are quietly being told
Are you into emotional music reading or just deep poetry
As you still walk under this life's great old oak tree
Are you glad to be alive
Well, here's to you
Keep finding the strength and determination to always rise
For whatever you're enduring
Just remember to be proud
You still have a chance to find true happiness because you're still alive
Because God built into you all the tools
You'll ever need to help you survive
For the next twenty-five
