The Kick Inside

The Kick Inside

Verse 1

Beginning of something

Delicate and slowly growing

New and original

Continuing the cycle

Precious and always forming

Commonplace and popular

Enjoying a moment

Beautiful and always real

With yourself or someone else

Dreaming wide awake

Different and slowly growing 

Confident and optimistic

Verse 2

Upside down, right side up

Counter-clockwise, counter-culture

Lemons out of lemonade

Breakdown, build up

Love and hate and indifference

Everything old is new again

Eyes wide shut, open-minded

Uncommon, extraordinary

Always hiding in plain sight

Alone, not lonely

Over, under, swinging around

Pushing past many limits

Verse 3

Half-empty, half-full

Perception versus reality

Complexities of life

Winning when losing

Matters of perspective

Who you are and what you won't do

Chorus 

The kick inside

Moments which keep us alive

As the world keeps on turning

As time marches on

As the sun rises and as the sun sets 

The kick inside will keep us alive
