[POLITES] I can tell you're getting nervous So do yourself a service And try to relax, my friend [ODYSSEUS] I'm fine, Polites [POLITES] Think of all that we have been through We'll survive what we get into I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live? Look at how you grip your sword, enough said Why should we take when we could give? You can show a person that you trust them When you stop and lower your guard Here we havе a chance for some adjustment Givе it a try, it's not that hard I'm telling you This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart No matter the place, we can light up the world Here's how to start Greet the world with open arms Greet the world with open arms [LOTUS EATERS, spoken] Welcome [POLITES] Greet the world with open arms [ODYSSEUS] Six hundred friends are waiting Stay back, I'm warning you If we don't get back safely My men will turn this place into blazes [LOTUS EATERS, spoken] Here you go [POLITES] This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart No matter the place, we can light up the world Here's how to start Greet the world with open arms Greet the world with open arms [ODYSSEUS] My friend, I wish that I could say that I agree But look at the way this fruit is glowing And filled with glowing seeds It took me a while to notice just what kind of fruit they eat It's a lotus, it controls your mind and never lets you free That's what we'd get with open arms [POLITES] Lotus eaters, I'd like to show my friend that kindness is brave Could you tell me where there's other food to eat? [LOTUS EATERS] The cave, the cave... [POLITES] A cave! You're saying there's a cave where we could feast? And where do we sail to find this food-filled cave? [LOTUS EATERS, spoken] East (That way) [POLITES] This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart So why not replace it and light up the world? Here's how to start Greet the world with open arms Greet the world with open arms And if you like what we make here and would like to follow me elsewhere - _______________________ My Social Links:   / thomassanders     / thomassanders     / thomassandersofficial     / thomassanders     / thomassanders   https://bsky.app/profile/thomassander... ________________________ Merchandise: North America/WorldWide: shop.thomassanders.com ________________________ Business Inquires: business@fosterdawg.com
