Come As You Are

                   COME  AS  YOU  ARE             (c) Sol Spitz


The sun was shining in honesty,

Talk of love was a luxury, more than a necessity,

As we clawed for water and struggled for air,

I have no pictures to realistically hand down the generations,

To learn the best, ride the best you can   ---



On the long horizon, neither beginning nor end,

The footsteps today will tomorrow disappear,

Of our destination, the letters we send,

For the water I ask, the clouds need to appear   ---



      Don't put nothing on, don't take nothing off,

      You don't need a condition, there be not a pre-requisit,

      Come as you are   ------



Some time you need to know where you stand,

Changes will be coming, its getting later and later -

We are of one earth, we are where we each make some difference -

What of your future, however it is red,

Buddy, do yourself a favor,

Don't you think its time to make a stand ------


      Don't put nothing on, don't take nothing off,

      You don't need conditions, or wait till you're visited,

      Come as you are   ------
