Funky Soul
Dan Johnson
© 2010

I didn’t just wake up this morning knowing
That I loved you, I think I always have,
‘cause long ago a primal spirit told me so
With beats and measures and joy untold,
Guess it must be true ,
I was born with a funky soul

My love for you isn’t measured in half beats or 3-4 time
It’s full time and beats with rhythm fast and fluid,
No lost notes, no dropped lines, but it’s real, even more
The feeling I get tells me it’s the real deal, oh yes, so very real.
Then on those lonely, dark, and rainy days when I feel I’ve fallen in a hole,
Fused spirits remind me, I was born with a funky soul, so very much in love with you.

Funky Soul makes note of a distinction between tradition and convention, it's a clay pot that makes no copies and honors the spirit of love...one-of-a-kind, Dan...it holds fluid...

Love & Fused Spirits,
Sage
