SPECIAL THING (Jason Mitchell)

 

WHEN THE TROUBLES OF THE DAY 

TRY TO PUSH YOU TO THE GROUND 

AND THERE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE 

ANY HOPE AROUND 

 

WE GOT TO TAKE A MINUTE 

JUST TO RECOGNIZE 

EVERYBODY’S GOT A LIGHT 

THAT SHINES BEHIND THEIR EYES  

 

‘CAUSE WE ALL BREATHE THE AIR 

ON A WORLD WE GOTTA SHARE 

SOMETIMES WE ALL FEEL SOME PAIN 

 

EVEN THOUGH WE’RE FAR APART 

WE’RE REALLY MORE THE SAME  

ALL THAT HATE AND ANGRY JIVE 

AIN’T NOTHING BUT A GAME 

 

YOU KNOW THIS LIFE IS ONLY SOMETHING 

THAT STARTED OUT FROM NOTHING 

AND GREW INTO A SPECIAL THING 

 

OF COURSE, IT’S ONLY A SUGGESTION 

TO LIVE AND LET IT BE 

THINK OF HOW MUCH HAPPIER 

WE’D BE IF ALL WERE FREE 

IT AIN’T A CRAZY NOTION 

LIVING NAMASTE 

WE CAN’T KEEP ON FALLING DOWN THIS WAY 

 

THERE’S A MILLION THINGS 

THAT SPLIT THE WORLD IN TWO 

IT’S EASY TO GET LOST IN WORDS 

AND LOSE THE BEST OF YOU 

 

YOU KNOW THIS LIFE IS ONLY SOMETHING 

THAT STARTED OUT FROM NOTHING 

AND GREW INTO A SPECIAL THING 

 

THERE IS A WAY IN OUR MINDS 

TO SHUT OFF ALL THE ACTING AND SAY 

NO MORE 

 

YOU KNOW THIS LIFE IS ONLY SOMETHING

THAT STARTED OUT FROM NOTHING

AND GREW INTO A SPECIAL THING
