Skip to the Good Part

from Carried Home by Michael Goldense

lyrics

I've got an urge to solve this world around us
to bring every mystery to a close
We search for answers all the time
and I'd like to bring you along for the ride
so I find myself holding this pose.

Carolina,
there's a sweet smell in the air
and I might just
take a moment to linger there.

There's so much we wish to rewind
or fast forward through
to relive or skip to the good part
to bend time as we choose.

The slight chill in this town
this morning defends another route:
there's joy, there's love
right here and now

Carolina,
the sun above the hills
it reminds us
to listen, to be still.

Surrounded by the sound of life--
the music of this world--
and rolling hills of greenery,
the rapids of my mind
can slow their normal swirl
for a breath.
A moment of relief.

Carolina,
the morning comes alive
and I find a
reminder here inside.

Carolina,
the future is never known.
What defines us
is this heart that we carry home.
