Blink

[WRITER'S NOTES]
This is yet another one of Raven's earlier songs, again written before Tyler joined the effort. This was one of the first songs Raven ever played out at a few open mics. "Blink" was literally one of the few songs that Raven could PLAY and SING at the same time! This skill does not come naturally to everyone, and for Raven it took some time to get it down.

Blink
[lyrics]

 

If you die with all your treasures,

Let me tell you that

it’s no honest measure

Of who you could have been –

If you’d only tried making

strangers into friends –

Friends like me,

who might be what you need.

Reciprocity might be

what you need.

Take time to plant a seed

that will grow and bloom

in your sight and feel

the grace of what’s right.

Stand a moment in the Light –

Stand up in the light…

It’s your life -

So, make it worth the trip…

Don’t ya pass it by –

Don’t ya waste this time –

Don’t ya let it lie…

Don’t you… don’t you…

 

Don’t you blink

or you’ll miss it -

It’s your life,

why don’t you live in it?

It’s your dream;

so find some bliss in it!

Heaven is in your grasp…

All you have to do is -

Act…

 

Times are hard

And trouble seems to follow me

Wherever I may roam,

But I know this too shall pass…

Pass into the light,

Like the day grows from the night.

Pass into the light-

like the day grows from the night.

Don’t ya pass it by –

don’t ya waste this time –

don’t ya let it lie…

don’t you…don’t you…

 

Don’t you blink

Or you’ll miss it -

It’s your life,

Why don’t you live in it?

It’s your dream;

So find some bliss in it!

Heaven is in your grasp…

All you have to do is –

Act…
