Energy Musings. Here. Now.

Sometimes, all you need is a song. Today, I offer you this one from Natalie Merchant.
“Carnival”
I’ve walked these streets A virtual stage It seemed to me Make up on their faces Actors took their Places next to me
I’ve walked these streets In a carnival Of sights to see All the cheap thrill seekers The vendors & the dealers They crowded around me
Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside myself and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen?
I’ve walked these streets In a spectacle of wealth & poverty In the diamond market The scarlet welcome carpet That they just rolled out for me
I’ve walked these streets In the mad house asylum They can be Where a wild eyed misfit prophet On a traffic island stopped And he raved of saving me
Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside myself and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen?
Have I been wrong Have I been wise To shut my eyes And play along Hypnotized Paralyzed By what my eyes have found By what my eyes have seen What they have seen?
Have I been blind Have I been lost Have I been wrong Have I been wise Have I been strong Have I been Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have found In that great street carnival In that carnival?
