Here, nothing but time On my dirty hands, to no No avail. Try as hard I might, Pour-ing every ounce of My energy Into a song, The only thing I can do for you. Something is wrong. Barely a note breaking through. Hardly a clue. Dry as a well. Arid as the desert I seem to be. When will it end? We will see

". . . Former Vice President Joe Biden has won the election. Every one of these Republican members of the House and the U.S. Senate are sophisticated politicians. They all have some fluency in vote counting, and they know Trump lost. The president's dangerous accusations are baseless. And by encouraging them, conservatives are injecting cyanide into the country's polity.

Wishing upon a star Takes me so very far. Just don’t play around with my heart. You must take special care Not to damage or tear Just the smallest little part.
Sometimes I’m not too clear What is this thing that I fear. It’s so difficult to describe. How can something unknown Make me feel so alone. I should be the bigger man But I clearly won’t.
I'm just a sensitive flower. I’m such a sensitive sould.
I'm just a sensitive flower.
So I've been told. Maybe the way I react
Lacks some refinement or tact. I just do the best that I can. Sometimes we’re out in a crowd Full of opinion so loud. I go back inside of my shell.
No matter how very hard I try to change how I behave. I just can’t seem to please All the people even half the time. Do you think that I can be saved?
In this state of affairs Don’t get caught unawares. Just be cognizant of what’s there. Why do those who can’t see Think that some vision can’t be Advantageous to possess For someone like me.
