Optimus Dimes - Rest of Our Lives

Now I'm out the valley
New horizons be due
Grinning tub side
With the beautiful view
I got my girls chilling
Like villain's on they day off
Soaking hard in the desert
Knowing the drive had payed off
And of course spirits high
Will provide always child
Together we ride no denial
We'll be traveling a while
It's the roads journey
A nomadic way of life
We hope for bright stars
Above our boondocked nights
Benton Springs, Tuttle Creek
To the valley of death
Crystal pools when we cool
And we're holding our breath
Baby bird to flee the nest
Flying free and swimming depths
Wish the day would never end
Try to live it to our best
Big dune ohms as the toys roam
The smell of desert sage
It's time to take a break
For a few days
Let the kids play in the sand
Watch it sift through their hands
This is our hour glass
These are sacred lands

To think I had made it
Giant house on the hill
Mile long drive baby
With the parties that thrill
But it was more than I needed
In fact it was too much
Who's dream was I living
Could I be falling out of touch
With myself is this me?
Did I desire this reality
Or is it just one of my infinite dreams
Wait a minute now I see
It's time to change the scene
I got a beautiful day waiting right in front of me
Now I've redesigned my way of life
Focused on what makes things right
Let go of what is out of my control
The defense strong when the grip tight
I'm so tired of sleepless nights
So tired of stressing times
I just want to know it'll be alright

Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you
Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you

What do you see in the mirror?
Is it insecurity?
Look again deeper past all the fear
Now what do you see?
A loving living being changing constantly
Ain't nothin wrong with that
And now we stand to be free
Cause I'll tell you something see
Our minds our biggest enemy
Always trying to get the best of
We ain't settling for less G
We picking up moving out
To get away from busted crowds
That always putting others down
It's a circus and we tired of clowns
I feel the balance act
Something falls and it break
There goes another plate
On myself I look down and hate
You've done this so many times
What's so different today?
Maybe there's just a little bit to much
On them plates
Lets try and lighten the load
And think like a boat
Know the difference between
When we sink and we float
With the grime we got to cope
Or that darkness manifests
So let's try and let it go
It's called forgiveness

Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you
Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you

What defines me?
Let me see
I just wanna be free
But got a dash of insanity
Manic depressive indeed
Doc diagnosis
And the pills they feed
Now they got us on rerun
Like we stuck in the screen
Big pharma got good people
Tricked like they phenes
And keep encouraging this
Fake medicinal dream
Do you have a disease?
Are you experiencing pain?
We all as sick as we feel
But got to build to regain
A loving man, with a dream
Evolving fam, building steam
Got to go, hit the road
40 Tell me when to go
55 On cruise
Don't you ever forget your rearview
It's like a book of clues
It's what once was
Don't you ever forget
Lesson after lesson
All the blood and the sweat
Don't you do it all again
When you've already learned
If not for you, for the tribe
Cause you know our hearts yearn

Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you
Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you
Cause today is the first day
Of the rest of our lives
Got to change our perspective
For a slice of paradise
Now we prying open eyes
Tell me what it is that defines you
Rest of our lives
Slice of paradise
Tell me what it is that defines you
