Monday Morning
A Day At The Fair Lyrics

Long before my stomping grounds got trampled on,
Years ago, before my home and surroundings were destroyed and changed,

I sat and felt the greatest song,
I experienced an incredible feeling that no artist could accurately capture in a song,

That every painter, every poet, couldn't create,
This experience was beyond the ability of any creative person to replicate through art,

And the words they open doors,
This feeling brought new possibilities and opportunities into my life,

From what my parents had wished for,
It was a manifestation of my parents' dreams for me,

When they had a child and raised a kid that came to this,
Their efforts in raising me led to this moment of realization and contentment,

And how good does life feel in times like this?
This moment made me feel incredibly content and grateful for all that life has to offer,

And how good is my shot before I close my eyes and miss?
I feel lucky to have experienced this moment before it was too late,

These feelings exist,
These feelings of happiness and contentment are real and tangible,

Let it rain on Monday morning,
I want to experience the rain on Monday morning,

Right before the world's awake,
Before anyone else is awake to disturb the peace and quiet,

I will lie there and just think about the weather,
I plan to simply enjoy the feeling of the rain and contemplate the weather,

Let my blood beat from my chest,
I want to feel my heart beating strongly,

And put my veins up to its test,
I want to experience the intensity of the moment and prove my strength to myself,

I will breathe in and know what it feels to be alive,
I will breathe deeply and feel grateful for the experience of being alive,

I'm alive,
I am grateful to be alive and experiencing this moment,

About the time the treehouse built fell on the lawn,
During the time when the tree house fell down in my yard,

We sat and heard the first of songs,
We listened to an amazing and unforgettable music piece,

That every rocking chair and shoebox would create,
This music was so special that it would have been created even by non-musical people like grandmas or old shoe boxes,

It's a world that's grown to be,
This world that we live in has evolved and progressed in many ways,

So careless with its memories,
However, at times, people seem to not care as much about preserving memories as they used to,

Only benevolence can capture what I mean,
Only kindness and generosity can truly understand what I am trying to say,

But how good's this picture when the backgrounds gone?
The beauty of this memory is lost when the context or background is no longer present,

And I still feel great about standing tall when everything went wrong,
Despite facing difficulties and challenges in life, I am proud of my ability to stay strong and persevere,

And I am all alone,
Even when I am alone, I can still feel a sense of pride and contentment for the person I have become,

Let it rain on my rooftop,
I want to feel and experience the sound of rain falling on my roof,

So I can hear the sounds,
I want to appreciate the beautiful and unique sounds that the rain makes,

Of passing winds through blowing trees,
I want to listen to the sounds of the wind as it passes through the trees,

Says I'll see you around,
This experience reminds me that there is always hope and that I will see these things again in the future,

When the seasons can say things,
The different seasons can convey certain feelings or messages through their weather patterns or changes,

That I never can,
These seasons can express things that I, as a person, do not have the ability to express or put into words,

When words describe nothing,
Sometimes words are insufficient to convey or describe the feelings or experiences we have in life,

When I come home again,
When I return home to this place or experience again in the future,

Well I guess I must have lost it,
I may have lost sight of this experience or how important it is in the past,

In line of my luck,
Perhaps due to the way my life has gone or my past experiences,

That says this is your life now,
I may have been resigned to thinking that this is my life and my experiences won't improve,

And you're done with growing up,
I may have thought that I am finished growing and developing as a person,

Well I missed my mark,
I regret not having appreciated or recognized the importance of this experience earlier on,

And I miss the trees,
I miss the simple beauty of nature and the trees that were present in this memory,

And I miss lying in bed today,
I miss being able to lie in bed today and reflect on this memory,

To picture these things,
To envision and appreciate all of the great experiences and feelings associated with this memory.
