The Revolution Begins Inside of You ©1997 Paul Iwancio

If the clothes you wear don’t fit the way you feel anymore.
And if the colors in your closet are as dull as a stockroom floor.
Give ‘em away.
You don’t have to hang on to threads that don’t last.
You’re too precious to live this life so downcast.
Even if you don’t want a pink slip,
you can skirt the laws of fashion nowadays.
Escape the ties of conformity, be the leader of your own parade.

Find a new way. Feel what is true.
Because the revolution begins inside of you.

If the language that you use doesn’t match the thought you think
You’re stuck going round in circles in your mind’s own roller rink.
Tear the past away.
One word is all you need to make a start.
Mix in some oranges to your mental appplecart.
Make a new word, don’t worry about which ones aren’t allowed
Free the tongue that’s been stuck to the roof of your mouth.

Find a new way. Feel what is true.
Because the revolution begins inside of you.

If the road you’re walking on has left you with tired and swollen feet.
And all you see is clutter on this littered street.
Kick off your shoes
And find a grass-paved path.
Add a few chapters to your earthly epithaph.
Because the road you choose is the key to your journey’s health
Make it a good one
even if you have to build it yourself.

Find a new way. Feel what is true.
Because the revolution begins inside of you.
