about

A plea to myself to not succumb to the vortex of hopelessness and despair that can come from simple being human. It's hard to keep going sometimes when the world seems to disappoint time after time. We must fight negativity with dogged efforts in keeping our spiritual bank accounts full so we have reserves to draw on when shit hits the fan. For me, music and dancing provide the best currencies.

lyrics

LAZY BONES Suzanne de Bussac 2018
The breeze feels like a cool hand on my burning cheek
Brushing off the roughness from the freshly finished week
The sky is grey and hazy like my memory
Lately I’ve been chasing dragons
Scattered like the leaves

Oh please release me from my lazy bones
Wake me up, baby turn the heat up
Lazy bones wake me up, save my soul

The politics are bugging me
Election day is soon
Politicians calling names like spoiled children do
I find it so embarrassing I want to hide my face
Has it really come to this?
This is our human race

Oh please release us from our lazy bones
Wake us up, baby turn the heat up
Lazy bones wake us up, save our souls

She says “it’s not he who falls who fails at all….
But he who cannot rise above it all
Get up! Shed your tears and shed your skin…move on
Move on…brush the dust off say your prayers
Brush the dust off say your prayers
Get up…GET UP!"

I believe that we all know exactly what we do
Some of us can face ourselves and other others can’t bear to
It’s hard to face those faults and it’s easy not to care
Especially when those lazy bones are in that easy chair

Oh please release me from my lazy bones
Wake me up, baby turn the heat up
Lazy bones wake me up, save my soul
Lazy bones ….get up!
