David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

I never wanted to lead,
I always wanted to guide,
But only to their inner self,
Until they showed their smile. 

When that smile happened,
I knew they’d found themself,
That was all I ever wanted
to see in someone else.  

In those days beings were beings,
They weren’t being something else,
But if they chose to grab a body 
it was never to be someone else. 

Purity of identity,
It’s what was valued then,
Having meaningful conversations
were always at a ten. 

So what the hell did happen,
What caused their strange befell, 
It’s only gotten worse and worse,
Most think they’re not themselves. 

So how can you forget yourself,
Like you no longer have a name,
But still you live the game of life
But you’re simply not the same. 

You can repair this catastrophe,
You must get them to talk,
And also guide and orient them
as you daily take long walks. 

Finding their environment
I mean the one they’re
Get them separated out 
from places they have been.

So simple but effective,
They need some present time,
Bringing them out of their past
Relieves them of their mind. 

So simple but effective,
They need some present time,
Bringing them out of their past
relieves them of their mind.
