Restless and Ready  (written 2/02)    G, C;   C, F(bar), F, G

I feel restless, yet close to sleep

I feel contagious, because I’m in my mind too deep

I feel dangerous, yet passive and pure

I feel contaminated by the ghosts of old story lure

I feel knocked down, I feel like I’ve lost the fight

And there is uselessness in suffering

But it still feels right

I take a walk outside

And it only brings me back home

I take a walk on level plain

And I find myself in a ditch that I gotta get out of again [I know I’ll get out of again]

Baby baby we gotta find our way out of this mess

But I can’t find it for you and you can’t find it for me

I feel open, yet cautious and slow

I feel like I’m bursting out from head to toe

I feel moderated, and ready to dance

I feel the earth grace me with it’s presence and

It give me a second chance

I feel strong and steady; I’ve forgotten the fight

There is meaning in suffering in balance with light
