Episode 26: Like Math (Butterfly Wings)

Once upon my twenties, 92 years worth of timely and encouraging wisdom met with me at the base of a big rock in Berkeley. This weekend on the podcast, I’m sharing the experience that inspired track No. 3 on my upcoming album, ‘at Dusk,’ which releases Feb 29!!

Like Math (Butterfly Wings)
Rebekkah The Band

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES 
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE


YOU'RE YOUNG 
SO MY EYES HAVE SEEN A FEW MORE THINGS
THIS FOG, IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES 
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE

MY HOME , TWO BERKELEY STORIES ON YOUR FAVORITE STREET
IT'S  NOT WHERE I WAS GROWN
IT TOOK SOME TIME AND FAITH AND ENERGY

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES 
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE

LIKE MATH, LIFE REQUIRES SOME CONSISTENCY
ASK ME HOW I KNOW ~ 
MY COURAGE PAID FOR MY DEGREES
MY WIFE AND I HAVE FED AND CLOTHED 
FOUR PAIRS OF BUTTERFLY WINGS

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES 
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE

YOU'RE YOUNG
SO BE PATIENT WITH YOUR BUTTERFLY WINGS
LIFE TAKES TIME, DON'T FIXATE ON THE SPEED
YOU HAVE TIME , DON'T WASTE IT LIVING RESTLESSLY

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES 
IF YOU DON'T WRESTLE WITH THE PACE

~ Patient endurance is what we need now. Take heart. ~
