Imperfections – Manic Monday

Beautiful mystery,
you’re perfect
all of you
i tell you
you’re beautiful
every crazy curve
and edge
you’re imperfections
your heart
you’re my all

All of Me
By John Legend

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all, all of you
Give me all of you

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you

be kindness in the face of rage
forgiveness for the obstinate
the world has seen enough of hate
a gentle hand can turn the page
forgiveness for the obstinate
be kindness in the face of rage

a flower blooms amid the snow
rooted deep, in all her glory
there is more to her short story
and wisdom yet to be bestowed
rooted deep, in all her glory
a flower blooms amid the snow

Clean Slate

we can dispense with negativity
cling to hope, remember to be kind
stay true to who we are, speak truth
celebrate diversity
though we have lost our way
it is not too late
to makes things new
together…
it’s a
start

amidst the passing rush of day
where treasure hides in broad daylight
each moment holds a dazzling sight
miracles, just a breath away
where treasure hides in broad daylight
amidst the passing rush of day
