“If you Want to Hang Around with me” (LIVING-ROOM VIDEO #28)

Posted on Oct 14, 2017

Here’s a new “living-room” video of a song I just wrote. It’s about how easy it is to be a true friend of mine. Feel free to share! With love from me to you…  The lyrics are below:

If you want to hang around with me,
don’t take yourself so seriously.
Hang loose to what you think you own
and don’t regard this earth as home.

If you want to hang around with me,
Ensure your mind is honed and free.
Then be prepared to dance and sing
and don’t be triggered by a thing!

[Refrain]
It’s so easy to be friends with me
Just so simple, as you’ll shortly see.
No drama needed — only empathy.
If we can’t feel at home,
then I’d rather be alone.

If you want to hang around with me,
we’ll laugh, that I can guarantee!
I’ll share with you my unseen wealth.
I choose my friends to keep my health.

If you want to hang around with me,
I hope you’ll be prepared to see
the way the world’s not what it seems
and share with me your secret dreams.

[Refrain]
It’s so easy to be friends with me
Just so simple, as you’ll shortly see.
No drama needed — only empathy.
If we can’t feel at home,
then I’d rather be alone.

If you want to hang around with me,
you’ll need to love the sand and sea.
Don’t take offence at truthful words
or by my passion be disturbed.

If you want to hang around with me,
grasp love in its totality.
Don’t hide behind a mask or guise;
your soul should show within your eyes.

[Refrain]
It’s so easy to be friends with me
Just so simple, as you’ll shortly see.
No drama needed — only empathy.
If we can’t feel at home,
then I’d rather be alone.

If you want to hang around with me,
please don’t play games or bow your knee
to anyone of human birth,
or want a guy for how much he’s worth.

If you want to hang around with me,
you’ll need to cherish poetry
and hear the music of the spheres
and overcome your darkest fears.

[Refrain]
It’s so easy to be friends with me
Just so simple, as you’ll shortly see.
No drama needed — only empathy.
If we can’t feel at home,
then I’d rather be alone.

If you want to hang around with me,
then harmony’s the sacred key.
And if your anger you’ve worked through,
then nothing’s locked from me to you.

If you want to hang around with me,
then reveal yourself mysteriously.
Yet always speak the truth in love
with inspiration from above.

[Refrain]
It’s so easy to be friends with me
Just so simple, as you’ll shortly see.
No drama needed — only empathy.
If we can’t feel at home,
then I’d rather be alone.
