Well I'm Getting Older

Well I'm Getting Older

***

Well I'm getting older
Ain't so bad right now
But I feel the time it's ticking

My body doesn't work 
Quite as easy as it once did
I can't take things for granted anymore
If I don't change things
Ain't going to be around much longer

If you don't love yourself
How do you think you're 
Gonna love anybody else? 
If you don't love yourself? 
How do you think you're 
Gonna love anybody else? 

You gotta turn off the news
You gotta put your cell phone away
You got to turn the whole electricity off
Why don't you just cut the wires? 
At least for your house
Got unplug. Yeah, go on now

If you don't love yourself
How do you think you're 
Gonna love anybody else? 
If you don't love yourself? 
How do you think you're 
Gonna love anybody else

Cuz this world that we're living in
Well, it's cruel
It'll tear you in two
But you can make it
We can make it too
We can all make 
Through

We can make it through

Reach Out
Reach Out
What do you feel? 

Do you feel loved?
Do you feel the love? 
Do you feel the love? 
Do you Feel The Love?

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...
