Asha’s Song Paul Shapera (Ft. Abilene Olson)

Order, I like order
As a girl, I used to line my dolls in order
Categories, inventories, put everything in order
In a world made of randomness and chaos
Everything put in its space
Just makes the world a better place

Order, categories, inventories lists, and indexes
Groupings, tiers, and sections, this was heaven
Everything put in a place where it should be
It comforts me and takes a world often messy and strеssy
And gives to me a lovely sеnse of peace
A moments peace
Where things can stop for just a minute and just be
Just be
Quietly
A pause so quietly where I can breathe

My life it had a map, it had a plan
An understanding, a trajectory, what's best for me
Then the gnomes changed everything
I lost the way, the plan I’d made, my dreams came to an end
When the darkness had descended
In my apprehension somehow I had friends
I had friends
Love it seemed like it would never ever end
And these friends
Accepted me
Never told me I should change, be differently
