MR. BYRD:

We.....wake up in the morning not knowing this will be our last breath

So I take matters one day at a time, just to see where it lead

Get on my knees for I know the eyes in the sky is still blessing me

I continue to....stumble through roadblocks that keep pressing me

Day after day, I see my past trying to creep up from behind just to stab me in the back

So I have to...unwind my mind cus so many times I shoulda seen indiana penitentiary

No one my truths...for they are not lies

I had to wash them out just to get by

In a world full of love, hate and dispair

Where the next man to the next woman to the next boy to the next girl

Have to witness sickness, poverty and death all on one shelf

Quite as its kept, we see revelation in front of our eyes...

But continue to walk this earth one day at a time.....

  ButterflyDream:

I focus on one day at a time because I have nothing else to give

Plans made mentally, fall to the wayside with each moment that we live

As obstacles and twists, cause us to constantly revise our mindset

I take it oneday at a time never lingering in regret

Life is like the butterfly effect,to change one thing is to cause a chain reaction

Find the lesson within the disappointment,remove focus from the unsatisfaction

Even though physically you may be weary,your mental will always be at rest

But where will you draw your strength,if both body and soul are burned out from regret?

  MR. BYRD:

Are we...psyched out our mind as we try to survive thru the tough times

No one has a solution to the answer so we can only question

People minds corrupted from depression and second-guessing

The Lord asking why they ain't counting their blessings

As we see variations of transgressions in the midst of the recession

How can go thru trails and tribulations if we don't learn from the lesson

So what do we do in the eyes of the middle class and poor

Who strive to make it on necessities they can't afford

It's hard to see mothers hustle by any means out of her jeans just to make ends meet

Fathers applying for jobs, only to be shown the door

We gotta rise and make ourselves better

Step up to the plate so we can eliminate ourselves from self-hate

Taking matters....step by step and we will see signs...

One day at a time....

  ButterflyDream:

It all starts with a mustard seed of determination

Yet,we fail to realize the importance of one's outlook,in life's equation

Once you learn to hear the voice thats says"push forward" tomorrow's a new day

You"ll realize that even when you have to slow tread against the current,nothings going to stand in
your way
And you learn to use once considered obstacles as your tools

And the fact that you have seeds depending on you as perseverance's fuel

Gaining the adaptation of evolution,to see past points that were blind

Acquiring wisdom,battle by battle...as we conquer revelation one day at a time
