STEP INTO YOUR SKIN and IT'S ALMOST TIME

I mentioned this singer/songwriter yesterday ... a singer from North Carolina named David Wilcox.  He is a wonderful musician and a wonderful poet.  His words spoke to parts of my journey and maybe to parts of yours?

STEP INTO YOUR SKIN 

Take your situation,
All your circumstances,
Put it on you
Like its made to fit you
Right.
Take your friends and family,
Take the mile around you,
Take the time that's left
And
Step inside your life.
Slip it like a glove around you.
Don't you miss this love
That's found you?
Look at all that's real.



Climb in,
Wear it a like a suit around your heart
You've been thinking
You could not be where you are.
Every morning don't be thinking
Where you might have been.
Every morning,
Shake it out and step into your skin.



There is no mistaking,
This is where you've got to.
Here's the life
That you have dragged around so far.
Cause you could stretch it out
And make it fit you better
If you put it on
And
Start with where you are.
Don't be halfway out and dreaming.
Don't be lost in doubt and scheming.
Look at all that's real.



Climb in,
Wear it a like a suit around your heart.
You've been thinking
You could not be where you are.
Every morning don't be thinking,
Where you might have been.
Every morning,
Shake it out and step into your skin.

 
IT'S ALMOST TIME 

Just across the sea
On this world so round,
the sun's shining hot right now.
And
Even though the winter
Still surrounds this town,
I can still feel that sun somehow.

 

When I know that my sun will shine
Just as sure as this world can spin,
I can hold on fine,
Cause it almost time,
For that sun to come 'round again.

 

So I'll walk beside the sea
On this frozen ground
Where there once
Was a warm weather crowd.
Even though
That summer's been
A long time gone,
I can still feel that sun somehow.



When your love grows cold
And
Your heart grows dark
And
The blame seems to fall on you.
Well
Look how seasons must change
And
Don't think it so strange
That your love goes in circles too?



And just know
That your sun will shine ...
Just as sure as this world can spin,
And I know you'll find,
That it's almost time,
For that love to come 'round again.
We can hold on fine ...
Cause it almost time,
For that love to come 'round again.
