Fair Weather



Fair weather clouds beat fair weather friends
Squaring the circle does not make amends

Jesters are telling us what we should do
When evidence shows they don't have a clue

Down at the crossroads we must choose a way
You say tomorrow but I say today

Seeking the truth is simply a must
Or all that we stand for will crumble to dust

Some doors are open but some remain locked
Some roads are clear but others are blocked

Love and compassion must always remain
Look into your heart to find them again

Fair weather beckons beyond the grey skies
No matter the weather the bluebird still flies!
