I'm on vacation mode

 ,I'm on vacation mode that's right, C.T.R.L,  A.L.T. &  V.A.C put me there. Cleared the screen, cleared the desk, cleared the room and I am outta here, won't look back, won't think twice and I won't miss a thing.

It's been a while , it's been way too long, and now it's my turn to just sit in the sun

 (ch ) I'm not going back till I 'm ready, all rested up and ready for more, that's right all rested up and ready for more, and I ain't going back till I'm ready for that.  

ahh vacation mode, nothing better, nothing sweeter, nothing tempts me more. Gonna sleep in late and stay up a lot later. This year it came around a little sooner and it got closer. My head was spinning, my eyes were dimming, my feet were dragging. I found myself doodling and the days slipped by so   

                     (ch)  (bridge )

Hey I know I got just two weeks, but that works out to 14 days which is 336 hours and that means 20,160 minutes of doing nothin. Are you listening? I mean I have 20,160 minutes of doin whatever I want to do, and it starts now

 (lead riff) 

 ohhh vacation mode, a little dreaming, a little snoozing, and the days slipped by. Gonna wake up earlier and hits the sheets a lot later I know how to make this vacation last

    My Pinocchio

 You feel so small so unimportant. You think you can't do anything right. You feel people laughing and pointing, 

your hiding behind your addictions 

    (ch) My Pinocchio somehow you lost your way, come back and find out how great you are

    there are things to discover things to create, things that have never been seen 

    there are...places to go and people to meet, you just don't know how great you really are

 friends and family all wandering around and you are lost in your ways, a light to point in the dark, it should have been clear, through glassy eyes and crying where you think no one can hear  (ch)

 Pinocchio you were made with his hands, he carved out your bones, times stood still as you were knitted, molded, fashioned in his care, there is no one quite like you, you alone hold the answer, you alone hold the key

you alone have hid your candle where you think no one can see         (ch)                            

a Brush on the shoulder, a rustle of leaves a breeze gently blowing around you

a glimmer of light a chirp from a tree, a branch slowing bending toward you

a song from a stream singing his chorus,  these things that were meant to attract you

oh oh Pinocchio my Pinocchio you just don't know how great you really are

Pinocchio we do and everything around you does, you are not alone

My Pinocchio you just don't know how great you really are

(ch)

fade out .... you are not alone, my Pinocchio you just don't know how great you really are.

Just a moment of silence

Oh my God I see you lying under the rubble,  I know you can hear them, but they can't see you

you can't tell them,    you can almost see the tears and their straining

you can hear their panic, their ernestness but you can't help them

you beneath the layers of rubble.............       Oh My God

(ch)  For you, for your family , for those who care about you

for the lives you will never touch again, for the life you gave

I stand, I stand today and bow my head

for just a moment of silence

Oh my God...    I feel your sorrow watching your home,   washed away, thrown away, 

torn away,,  all you ever had and owned....   everything gone, to have to start over, 

and to be able to start over with nothing                     

                                          (ch) 

How can we know, how can we understand, how can we show you we care?

How can I comfort you, what could I do?     Oh My God and where would I start?

You know I can't , you wouldn't want that, I know... I think I know

I can give you something today........for you 

(ch) 

I could give you that

He has you covered

 It brings such joy to the father to see you enjoy the things he gave

to hear the squeals the playing children,  he sees all from above, if there's a price to be paying ,  whatever code you gotta know, don't bring your bags and all your trappings, cause this is one thing you need to know,    he has you covered 

He is greater that the oceans, he is higher that the sky

he is deeper than those valleys  and breathes life to all he brings

there are good times  and there are bad times

you will laugh and you will cry,  this day was made for living

so just do it till you die,  cause when you round that corner

when you see it going down, there is just one thing you need to remember

he has you covered

It brings such joy to the father to see your footprints in the sand

he see you when your sleeping  and he hurts to see you down

he is everywhere around you and when you think he cannot see

there is one thing you need to remember , he has you covered 

when the final day is on us, it be him who fought to win

when the gates they be wide opened, he'll just tell you come on in

 the stories he will tell you and the things that he will bring

have never been imagined and will cause your head to swim

but in all these Joy's and wonders

remember it was a heavy price he paid he took the load from off your shoulders 

and got you covered. He has you covered
