MERRY IMBOLC!!
I barely got this song written and performed in time to submit to my distributor! I got hit with a double whammy throat cold, UGH!!!
I was looking to write a "move on" song when a friend requested a "Manifestation" song.
------------------
Lyrics explanations
When I was a kid and first getting into hip hop, rap group "Gangstarr" lead by rapper Guru had a song called "Manifest"
"These are the words YOU manifest" is a tribute to those lyrics.

In the Transformers series "Beast Wars," the character Megatron is not the original Megatron but a Decepticon descendent. One of his quirks is instead of saying "Yes" or "YES!" he says "Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyessssssssssssss" like he was trying to be seductive.
Keep your head up like Eme Alfonso
Preserving your halls high notes like Sopranos
progress you can't refuse life improvement
One of my favorite songs is "Keep Your Head Up" by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band featuring Eme Alfonso (the singer).

Followed by a Sopranos mafia joke
"Nintendo power code" *cough*
OLD TIMER VOICE : You see kiddos when we wuz yungins in order to cheat at them tharr Neentendoz video games we'd have to memorize a bunch of random button combinations and if we didn't do it right the D.A.R.E. lion will appear and shame us until we cried. *curls into a fetal position* "WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-----------------
Find the new road, a new mission awaits
Keep on waking don't change your gait
Yo these are the words that you manifest
Manufacture the best outcome yes
Like Megatron in a Beast Wars Marathon
Be your own yes man become the paragon
Of resilience endurance and brilliance
A positive attitude can be worth millions
Keep your head up like Eme Alfonso
Preserving your halls high notes like Sopranos
progress you can't refuse life improvement
steps and goals crescendo go through it
Nintendo power code, believe in yourself
Fuel that propels through challenges you're dealt
Time changes like a tropical tidepool
Be wise full of curiosity brave not frightful
-----------
Find future's path it's wild expanse
Mice or man might as well lay your plans
Chaos always comes but good fortune too
No matter what you do be true to you
Introspective, a good perspective
Be humble. Be honest. Make corrections
Make a goal, a plan, just a little
Idea seed the Nile lick the spittle
Fruition of the labor savor the work
Produce the loot, happiness go berserk
Take time to rest like a union break
Even if the union is you, you know what's at stake
Come on, your burning the candle
From both ends, Self-Destructive Vandal
Rest, recharge, regroup resurge
Guard your health and heed these words
----------
Lightspeed engage, No. 1 make it so
Blaze to the future through variables
Miraculous happenstance synchronicity
Capricious advance in your Odyssey
Bounty found not often encountered
Resources get scoured when things go sour
Self empowered recover strength much faster
Than idle engines mired in stringy chatter
That's the thing, can't just spin your wheels around
Obstacles bust you down to seek newer ground
Fresh roots, grow to new skies from valleys
With verdant leaves and flowers beyond tallies
Yo these are the words that you manifest
Manufacture the best outcome yes
Dance to the beat, march to your own drum
Every dog has a day in the sun
