I Have Arrived

Biked home last Friday, sat down on the porch, wrote this song in one sitting. Feels Jimmy Cliff to me.

Jason MolinI Have Arrived v.1.2

I Have Arrived

No more waiting to be discovered
No more waiting to get signed
Discovered myself, I am surrounded by wealth
I realize how much I’ve denied

No more waiting for a favor
No more waiting for the stars to align
No more waiting, no more hesitating
Cause now I know, I have arrived

And I know, I’ve got a long long way to go
But with my fate I am satisfied
And I know that it goes so painfully slow
But that’s OK cause I got you by my side

No more waiting for directions
I’ll make a map out of the sky
I’ve waited so long for the muse to deliver this song
Thanks the Lord, it has arrived

Now I tell myself, If I only had something else
While the thing I need is right in front of my eyes
No more waiting for love, I’m loving exactly what you’re made of
Cause I can see you have arrived

No more waiting to be discovered
No more waiting to get signed
Discovered myself, I am surrounded by wealth
And now I know, I have arrived

Our Obladi Oblada

As I was practicing this Beatles feel-good singalong ska classic for the next show, I updated it from Desmond and Molly to Jason and Maile.

Jason has a place off Congress Avenue,
Maille is a checker at HEB
Jason says to Maile will you go have lunch
by the turtle pond with me up at UT?

Obladi Oblada life goes on, bra! Oh oh how the life goes on.

Jason takes her 5 years later to that grocery store,
kneels in front of the bubble gum machines,
Puts a quarter in and opens up the prize,
inside his grandma’s heirloom Opal wedding ring.

Obladi Oblada life goes on, bra! Oh oh how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of cats running in the yard of Jason and Maile Broccoli-Hickey Molin

Happy ever after in their Austin place,
Maile let’s Anais lend a hand.
Jason stays at home and does her curly hair
and in the evening Maile sings in with the band.

Obladi Oblada life goes on, bra! Oh oh how the life goes on.
