Lips Stick Secrets

Lips Stick Secrets
(Intro - spoken word)
No looking back now...
Lips stick secrets on the rim.
She’s made up for it all,
Time and again.
[Verse 1]
The sky may be burning, the leaves start to fall,
The tables are turning, time changes it all.
But through every season when shadows appear,
She stands in her light and she conquers the fear.
You’d never guess height by the space that she takes,
Or the quiet power in choices she makes.
[Verse 2]
She brings a Trans Am right back into style,
Smelling the roses from her lily pad all the while.
Is that thunder rolling, or a Thunderbird’s cry?
No, that’s her own eagle that's claiming the sky.
When the world feels so small, so tight and so dark,
She’s the skylight, the fire, the energy, no ask why.
[Chorus]
Striking as red lipstick left on a rim,
She’s life on full blast when the horizon is dim.
No matter the storm, no matter the fate,
She’s worthy of love at her soul's precious weight.
With pep in her step and a bag full of grace,
She’s the magic and cure of this whole human race.
[Verse 3]
She makes margaritas when life hands her lemons,
Weaving a wardrobe from threads sent from heavens.
Her heart is a walk-in closet of gold,
With room for the stories that never were told.
As petite as her appetite happens to be,
She’s got a fierce hunger to set the world free.
[Chorus]
Striking as red lipstick left on a rim,
She’s life on full blast when the horizon is dim.
No matter the storm, no matter the fate,
She’s worthy of love at her soul's precious weight.
With pep in her step and a bag full of grace,
She’s the magic and cure of this whole human race.
[Verse 4]
She pulls everyone up when they’re falling behind,
Sweeping away all the ghosts of the mind.
Don't cry over spilled milk or spiders in sight,
She’ll sweep in, make it quick, make it all right.
Just don't ask her to boil the Moka pot today,
She’s jarred for time as she’s making her own way.
[Verse 5]
Fresh pressed for memories, her scope is too vast,
No newbie can match how her empire was cast.
I dare you to dare her, she’ll dare you right back,
Built for her A-frame, she never will lack.
She’ll call you right out if you play second class,
Leaving a lasting impression like glass.
[Chorus]
Striking as red lipstick left on a rim,
She’s life on full blast when the horizon is dim.
No matter the storm, no matter the fate,
She’s worthy of love at her soul's precious weight.
With pep in her step and a bag full of grace,
She’s the magic and cure of this whole human race.
[Bridge]
There may be looking back but no reason to wonder,
We all know today it ain’t her age but her spirit that chooses her number.
So take her to the shore, take her down to the beach,
Take her where serendipity stays right in her reach.
Let her meet her king while dolphins dance and her cheeks turn peach,
With a heart so full it's like a high tide on overflow,
Yeah, what more can she expect but what fits her whole soul.
[Verse 6]
For whatever she thought she was lacking back then,
She’s made up for it now, time and again.
Yes, she’s made up for it now, time and again.
[Chorus]
Striking as red lipstick left on a rim,
She’s life on full blast when the horizon is dim.
No matter the storm, no matter the fate,
She’s worthy of love at her soul's precious weight.
With pep in her step and a bag full of grace,
She’s the magic and cure of this whole human race.
(Outro - spoken word)
No looking back now...
Lips stick secrets on the rim.
She’s made up for it all,
Time and again.
