Rest Your Head Upon My Shoulder


         Appears on...

Rest your head upon my shoulder
There are no worries here
It’s just you and me together
Push your ego back
There’s no need for it here
Would you please give yourself some slack?
After all you’re the one who chose to be here

Your age may be old
But baby, you are young
You’re gonna’ have to just trust me on this one
Yeah I know it seems easy for you to be this way
But your soul’s meant to shine not meant to hide

My unconscious-self speaks to me fluidly through my self
Yeah, it speaks to me at times of music and words
But am I to be bound to this ego,
for years and centuries on end?
What a wicked though!
What a horrible perception

Well I am here to sing and to love
So bear with me there’s a long journey ahead
Yeah I’m here to sing and to love
Will you help me?

Let us dance tonight
Let us speed through the rivers of time
There’s this little thing you see,
A little thing, called “being free”
Just push your ego back!
There’s no need for it here
Would you please give yourself some slack?
After all, you’re the one who chose to be here

Help me
I’ll help you
Love me
I’ll love you
Love us
We’ll love you
