Listening
Words and Music by M. Nesmith 1971

Sometimes thoughts coincidental
With activities quite simple
In consideration seem to be
Quite meaningless
Yet hoping for the best
I listen for the rest

Listening to find a way
To overcome earthbound decay
Still I'm classifying these ideas
That come to me
Into those that I can see
And those that I can feel

It seems that it should be
So easy to do
The things that I am led to do
But conviction and courage
Sometimes drift apart
And take me back to the start.
