Holidays
Wesley Jensen Lyrics

Butterflies in big glass jars
I want to capture something beautiful and keep it close to me, but I also want the freedom to set it free and see it soar.

I'll tie them to balloons
I'll find a way to give them wings and let them fly, even if it means letting go.

Fly them to the moon
I want to reach for the stars and set my sights high, aiming for something beyond what seems possible or practical.

With colors shine through every room
I want to add vibrancy and life to everything around me, not settling for dullness and mundanity.

Cuz I'm so tired of black and white
I'm tired of living in a world that is defined by binary oppositions, where everything is either this or that and nothing in between.

When it always turns to gray
Even when I try to inject some color into life, it always seems to fade away and become dull and ordinary again.

I'm ready for a change
I'm done with the status quo and want to break out of the rut I'm in and start living life on my own terms.

Cuz I'm not one to live this way
I refuse to live a life that is dull and uninspired, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to change that.

So I'll try
I'll make an effort to change things, but I can't do it alone.

Honey honey don't you mind
I need someone to stand by me and support me in my quest for a more vibrant, exciting life.

Yes I'll try
I'm committed to making a change, even if it's difficult or uncomfortable.

Honey honey please don't cry
I know that this journey won't be easy, but I need my loved ones to stay strong and not get discouraged along the way.

Cuz these holidays
The special times of year that are supposed to be joyful and festive always seem to come up short.

Won't play us dear
We can't rely on holidays to bring us happiness or fulfillment; we need to find that within ourselves all year round.

Season come but they
Although we look forward to different seasons and celebrations, they always seem to slip away too quickly, leaving us feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Never stick around
We can't hold onto these moments forever, and they will inevitably leave us wanting more.

And I don't wanna wait here anymore
I'm tired of living in anticipation of the next big thing, waiting for life to happen to me instead of making it happen for myself.

Time will not slow down
I can't afford to waste any more time waiting for something to change; I need to take action now.

Singing old salvation songs
I'm searching for meaning and purpose in my life, trying to find something that gives me a sense of direction and guidance.

My voice is crying out
I'm desperate for a breakthrough and will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals.

Trumpets sounding loud
I'm ready to announce my presence to the world and make some noise, even if it means going against the grain.

But nobody seems to hear a sound
Despite my best efforts and intentions, it seems like nobody is listening or paying attention to my cries for help.

Snowy winters will soon turn to summers
Time passes quickly and seasons change before we know it, so we need to make the most of every moment we have.

But what's the point if they're lacking in color?
Even if we experience all the joys and wonders of life, it won't matter if our lives are dull and uninspired.

And where the joy of the boy who reaches others
We need to find joy in connecting with others, reaching out to make a positive difference in their lives.

Was it lost in the vile of his mother?
Perhaps the obstacles and challenges we face in life come from those closest to us, stealing our joy and sense of purpose.

All I know, all I know
Despite all the uncertainties and challenges I'm facing, there are some things I can be sure of.

Is that time is running low
I can't afford to waste any more time waiting for my life to change; I need to take action and make a difference now.
