Goodbye, New York

So long to New York City
It’s time for me to go
I’ve gotten what I came for
Don’t need u any mo’

Brooklyn, hipsters, cafes, and bars
Grad school, parties, friends
I wouldn’t trade it for the world
But my time here’s at an end

Off to new adventures
The mountains, rivers, bears
I’ll miss the city now and then
But I gotta shift my gears

For I’d rather wander round the globe
Seeing all that I can see
Than let the darkness of the city
Keep its claws on me

And I’d rather crash on couches
And wander empty streets
And camp on hidden riverbeds
With blisters on my feet

I’d rather stay up late at night
To watch the stars that shoot
Than wake up sad and groggy
To make the work commute

I’d rather eat the simple foods
Like cheese and beans and rice
Than dine at fancy diners
And pay a hefty price

I’d rather let my hair grow long
And I’ll grow my beard out too
I’ll let my hands get grubby
And my eyes get black and blue

Goodbye you metal shining beast
And your dirty streets and noise
Goodbye to constant motion
And your pretty prancing boys

Goodbye to New York City
Brooklyn, adieu, adieu
I have to light out on the road
And tromp away from you

Goodbye, New York, farewell, so long
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You’ve got no tears to spare for me
So neither will I cry

Time to shed my New York self
It's true
And craft a man anew
Taking up a new way
Where it leads I can’t say
But to New York, I say adieu

so ur goin 2 thailand?

So you're flying off to Thailand
May your journey treat you well
What adventures you'll encounter
Only trust and time will tell
Your work will take you places
That you've never seen before
You'll cross mountains, oceans, jungles
Who knows what's all in store!
At times you will be lonely
The road will wear you down
Your project will seem futile
And you'll shout, or cry, or frown
Other days you'll love your life
You'll rejoice with pride and glee
'There's goodness out there in the world
And it's partly cuz of me!'
It's tough to make a change with peace
But that's what you've got to do
People say it can't be done
But it's not up to them: it's up to you
I'll miss you while you're gone, my friends
We'll be half the globe apart
But it's not as far as far might be
Since I'll have you in my heart
Whatever happens, don't give up!
And keep each other near!
There's nothing strong as love, you know
With love there's naught to fear!
Soon you'll fly to Thailand
For wondrous tales unknown
So keep the fire burning
And the wish of peace, keep churning

It's on your dreams
Our hope depends
As you ferry them
To world's end
