LOVING YOU - Paul Babin

Your lips, your face, your laughter

Is sunrise each morning
Cloud colors transforming
The banquet I call my life

I find myself recast
To show up as a man
In strength and grace to sing, "I am"

is a place beyond us
Beyond right and wrong a promise
Please stay. I'll always be the one
I'm gonna be the one for you

I find myself recast
To show up as a man
In strength and grace to sing, "I am"
Loving you
Loving you
Say you'll Stay forever
With me

The Cat In That

THE CAT IN THAT
In the five long years
I've been here
I've been paying attention
To the world out there
I saw it on the news:
It's dangerous
I know cause they said so
On TV
It's dangerous for me
But I'm also curious
Who and why and how
All those people
And things
Get like like that
No one would answer me
So I asked the cat
She began to purr
And she smiled at me
She said, "I'll give you some news,
I'll give you all the news
You need
And the news was
She loved me
She gives me all the news I need
She gives me all the news I need
She says that's all the news I need

Through the Weeds Together - by Paul Babin
I'd like another chance
To start again each day
In the glorious circumstance
Of being a in a true romance
With who we are
And what we are together
Please hear my amends
In love again
A love that knows no end
We'll dance through the weeds together
Knowing if we do
Regardless the state of the weather
We'll know nothing is better
Then you and me forever
In love again
In love again

Hail to the Clown King

Hail to the Clown King
I ain't big on logic.
Don't care about the facts.
All I know is what I know
Is how I will react
I'm pissed off at the gov'ment
Pissed at refugees
I'm pissed at anyone who doesn't
Think or talk like me
My life is filled with drama
My ass I cannot tell
From a hole in the ground
Where I hear the sound
Of a moron sent from hell
_______
Hail to the Clown King
A buffoon to rule my world
Gimme a Clown King
We get what we deserve
Bring on the Clown King
He tells me who to fear
Today it's you, tomorrow me
I think the end is near
_______
My TV new s show comforts me
That's why I leave them on
Day and night don't have to think at all
Just watch the Clown King build his wall
Keep out trouble makers
Keep in all that's right
He's makin' the country great again
He's keepin' the country white.
My life is filled with drama
My ass I cannot see
From a hole in the ground
Where I hear the sound
Of a moron calling me
_______
Bring on the Clown King
A buffoon to rule my world
Gimme a Clown King
We get what we deserve
If I had the courage and
They wouldn't think I was insane
I'd tell everyone I know
He gives voice to my pain
I'm in the darkness, mama

Ruby
You came into the world
On wings of angels
Knocked on my door
Said, "Time to play."
In your innocence you taught me
how to trust
and that I always must
not be afraid
________
You came into my world
A place of fear and darkness
And set me free with laughter
Permission to be sane
______
In your innocence you taught me
how to trust
and that I always must
not be afraid
_______
chorus:
Oh my Ruby
Oh my Ruby
Oh my Ruby
You'll always be my flame
____________
You came into my world
On wings of angels
Proof that love will always
show the way
In your innocence you taught me
how to trust
and that I always must
not be afraid
____________
It was a rainy night
The wind was cold
As we both tried to find
The faith to let go
You'll always be my flame

HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB by Paul Babin
It was a cold, cruel world, I'd decided
Everyone was crazy, I could see.
I 'd roll my eyes self-righteously disgusted
'Til I was smacked upside the head by epiphany
___
I could cling to my position on the outside
In the state of fear, resentment, hate and grief
Or I could see the world and all the people in it
Are in fact just one big family
___
Happiness is an inside job - accept it.
You can piss and moan until your face turns blue
Change takes courage and commitment
But takes off when you fall in love with you.
___
I said, "fuck it, I'm gonna change direction!"
Began to meditate my life in deep reflection
I discovered my feelings of rejection
Were only something called projections
___
Happiness is an inside job - accept it.
No one in your ashram holds the key
It choices you make for expressin'
between the loving you or your insanity
____
So, what'll it be, oh mama?

ELLIOT'S SONG - by Paul Babin
To the man who is my child
On this day of his birth
I offer these words
A truth or two I've learned
__________________
My boy
My beautiful boy
You've grown into a man
My joy
My beautiful joy
Is knowing that you can
Bring to each moment
From where your love abides
Give the world your greatest gift
That boy who's still inside
____________________________
My son
My beautiful son
You've traveled many roads
My little one
When you've become
Burdened by the load
Bring to those moments
Your place where love abides
Give yourself your greatest gift
That son you hold inside
_____________________
My man
My beautiful man
Your father's heart is full
His hands
His grateful hands
One day will let go
Bring to that moment
From where your love abides
Give us both the grace that is
The man you are inside
______________________
Bring to each moment
From where your love resides
Give the world your greatest gift
That you who loves inside
That love that's you inside
