231130: Yes And No

from Leap Songs, Part 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Yes is the reason I get out of bed
No time for wasting and none for regret
Yes picks my feet up left right left
Could always say no but I haven't yet

Yes to the one who makes my heart dance
So that's a no to all other romance
Yes that's risk I'm taking a chance
No it ain't perfect but it ain't so bad

Yes here and now means a no somewhere else
Yes to this moment yes to myself
No use in crying all I can do is my best
No makes more space for a yes

Sometimes out loud is how it's expressed
Sometimes a yes is silent consent
Sometimes we speak so no one has to guess
A no means a no that's a one word sentence
