Lucky I Am (2013)

By James Moats in Asheville, NC

Another sketch, an exercise
A photograph, moment in time
You read, you write, philosophize
Another sketch, moment in time

You try again to cauterize
to stop the flow, keep it inside
You can't avoid the little lies
The sacrifice, to cauterize

Whether I applaud you
falls on things I need to work through
But all in all, I can't believe
how lucky I am

So, suck it up, you little man,
it may not come this way again
If stars align, it's better than
you realize, just get your hands dirty

All week, I have tried to
stay focused on the task and get through
these silly songs
remembering how lucky I am
