WONDERFUL FEELING
Ola Onabule © 2001


And they said to him it’s just compromise
Like trading up on dreams at a capital price
When you get to the top
You can do what you want
Fortune like time makes every wrong right

Only all right, until the road led
To a place he had never intended to be
He was okay, till the people he loved
had been caused so much pain,
He could not believe there once was a time
when life was:

Such a wonderful feeling,
Where every moment was joy
Filled with love and true meaning
Listening out for his inner voice

Now they circle him, the prey caught in flight
Distant shadow of once inspiring sight
Since you ain’t what you were
Take whatever's on offer
The degradation will tame your wild soul

Soon it’s too late, He’s on oblivion road
and hopes drowning beside him, too weary to swim
So he lets go, and won’t be coming home
And as peace overcomes him
He can hear them say It’s all such a shame
‘Coz’ he was

Such a wonderful feeling...

It was so right, the very first plan
Lost and beguiled, set adrift somehow
But that doesn’t matter now
coz he moved along and where he’s gone from
Is trading again
On all that is left of

Such a wonderful feeling...

To every sound of his heart
As it falls apart... now!!!

so beautiful Phenomenal
inner voice inner voice, you ain’t got no choice listen out for your inner voice cos it is...

Wonderful, Beautiful, magical, incomparable,
remarkable, phenomenal, unbreakable indestructible
