This song is about coming back to life after cancer treatment, and in my case, coming back as a Blue Jay.

Lyrics

I Think I'll Keep it Blue (2022)

I’m a fly on a wall in a room full of women complaining about their hair
It takes so long to torture it into place
They don’t like the color, the texture. The thickness and there is a definite lack of curl
And the way it refuses to frame their face

I had to lose it……. To find it
And lose it again to find it again
It comes from a divinity who knows much more than I do
So I think I’ll just keep it blue.
Yeah, I think I’ll just keep it blue

Every conversation includes a plan to exercise
I hear you are training for a marathon in the city
All of my exertion is in the art of compromise
And keeping my feet from wobbling out beneath me

I had to lose it……. To find it
And lose it again to find it again
It comes from a divinity who knows much more than I do
So I think I’ll sit on this chair and decide not to move
Yeah I will sit on this chair and decide not to move

We are here for such a short. Short time
And we are bound to deteriorate
There is such protest to that downhill climb
I love the people I have, I love the people I have
They accepted me bald, so and they accept me blue

Women, my beautiful women
I love you when your hair iis turning gray
I will love you when your teeth rot out of your head
I love you because you are my friend
I love you because you are my friend
