“Shining Stars”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

 

Close your eyes

Picture a cool blue sky

Filled with endless possibilities

A magical air oh so fly

 

Nothing to bug ya

On this May night

Just an ocean breeze ahead

Easing it all as the moon shines bright

 

All you can see

Are the glimmering stars

Lighting the place up

Like Jimi Hendrix shredding the electric guitar

 

Over some purple haze

Dancing upon all the shining stars

Who burned the roof off

Making ya wonder if they were from Mars

 

Creating a new dimension

That we always envisioned

Way high above the mountains

Always worth the attention

 

Making shit you couldn’t imagine

Bringing such spirit alive

Our minds tripping so high

Just like an amusement ride

 

A rollercoaster of emotions

Going as fast as can be

So out of control

That you can’t even see

 

There’s Paul McCartney singing “Let It Be”

As you scream in excitement

Fly like a summer breeze

Your brain full of enlightenment

 

Never felt this way before

It’s like we’re all dancing on cloud nine

Experiencing our stars’ paradise

Making everything stand still even time

 

You can see your reflection in the moon

It calling you as if it knows

Seems to be saying just let it all ride

Just sitting there you feel its powerful glow

 

That’s where it all starts

Words and funky sounds inspire

Evolving into stars we see

Making us breathe, scream fire

 

You feel it everywhere

Smell that burnt toasty sensation

Taking you to a Satanic place

Damn right this is a different vacation

 

One filled with smoke

Reminding you of a reefer’s heaven

Amongst our stars all blazed up

Closing our eyes while just chilling

 

Without a doubt a wild party

Giving us perspective into their heads

Like a musical carnival

An escape and meeting of the Grateful Dead

 

There we see the futuristic souls

Who captivated all that was good

Rocking the house down

While we screamed, shouted and stood

 

That’s how I see you right now

Proudly introducing yourself to your peers

Working the place as only you could

Producing songs that make even 2Pac say yeah

 

There you’d be kicking it

While making everyone laugh and smile

Leaving the same vibe that made you special

Just maybe you were the true Voodoo Child

 

Now you’re part of the club

Spreading your sunshine and love

Making friends of legends

Ya ‘ll standing together way up above
