"Green is for Go!" By Ntsaki C Cabana

Now, this is a song that describes my life and liberation.  It's also pretty emo, but its just waht the doctor ordered.  That is to say, classic wounded victim learns to BE.  I wrote this song in 2005 when I decided that I wanted to become a recording artist and break the chains that restricted that in my life... As if I did. But, in my defense, I still have more time, right?  Enjoy...


"Verse 1:

I always thought if I could play it safe,
I'd never lose,
I'd never hurt.
I never spent to much on what could be,
Believed in me,
Learned how to fly.

Pre-Chorus:
But then I looked into the looking glass.
I saw a hollow tree stuck in barren grass.
I looked inside and saw it wasn't me.
I'd have to fight to become what I should be.

Chorus:

I lived my life on amber
Coz you taght me I could never be
Anything if I just sailed away on my dreams
I sold my dreams and sailed away on a galaxy of real
Now Green is for go
When Amber was just for dreams...
Just for me.

Verse 2:

And now i sit here tryna claim it back -
The loss of time
All left behind
But it's over now, I'm so alive!
I'm finally me -
So finally free.

Pre-chorus:

Coz when I'd looked into the looking glass
I'd seen a hollow tree stuck in barren grass
I'd looked inside and seen it wasn't me
And so I fought to become what I should be!

Chorus:

I lived my life on Amber
Coz you taught me I could never be
Anything if I just sailed away on my dreams.
I sold my dreams and sailed away on a galaxy of real
Now Green is for go
When Amber was just for dreams...
Just for me.

Bridge:

I never really threw caution to the wind coz it's
A part of who I am.
It's what I've been for so long but
I learned to really live and go on what I trust because
All I knew was Amber I appreciate what it means to GO!!
GO!!
GO!!

CHORUS

I lived my life on Amber
Coz you taught me I could never be
Anything if I just sailed
Away on my dreams
Sold my dreams and sailed away
On a galaxy of real.
Now Green is for Go
When Amber was just for dreams.
Just for me

Bridge 2

No safety there for me
I need to take the risk
I got nothing left to lose.
I can't lose if I choose to stay
But can't win if i don't play.
My sun will rise today!!!

Chorusx 2 + bridge 2
