It's all in your mind!

Segue sometimes from Infinitive
1.
A
It's your decision
     F           G
It's all in your mind
   A
To pick up your choice
        F          G
Or keep dragging behind.
    A
The world is your apple,
        F           G
They're waiting for you.
    A                   F
:|  Make sure you don't bite off
             A
   more than you can chew. |:
2.
Potential placement,
That's just you today.
The path may be chosen
But you choose to go the way.
You choose how to be,
To endure what derision.
:|  It's all in your mind.
   It's all your decision.  |:
3.
If you think that you
Aren't up to this plan,
You do what you must
But not what you can.
Choose a course with the knowledge
of what you can be,
:|  And leave all the rest
   to the piloting Three.  |:
4.
Most people aren't ready
For working alone,
So if you're one of those,
Choose a group of your own.
Help cooperation
Supplant competition.
:|  We'll all get there the sooner
   the less repetition.  |:
It's All in Your Mind (the cartoon)
A meditation on that tricky little entity you're using so poorly right now.

It's not about UFOs. It's about your revelation.

For many years after World War II, the United States Air Force had a public task force investigating reports of extraterrestrial sightings and contacts. The task force report was called Project Blue Book. This is about a different blue book.

1.

D    C   A   Dm   G
I've got a   blue "U" book.

F                G
I wish you would take a look,

    F              Em
But only if you're int'rested

   Dm             C
In what it has to say 

           Dm
Concerning what you ask about.

        Em
You can look with honest doubt,

            F
But it will never help you out

         G
If you explain it all away.

2.

        Am
You can never realize

         G
What you won't internalize.

      F
No surprise will come from

             Em
Anything you read

        Dm
You can argue and debate

          Em
And never have to correlate

               F
Your life with what it has to state

         G
On human need.

3.

        Am
You can choose to worry, or

              G
Choose not to worry anymore,

       F
Listen to or just ignore

            Em
Your better side.

       Dm
No one else can make your choice.

     Em
Only you can use your voice

            F
For singing love or making noises

       G
Out of pride.

4.

         Am
Give the words a second glance.

          G
Don't be afraid to take a chance.

          F
You might find you like to dance

           Em
Instead of sit.

           Dm
But no one else can dance for you,

           Em
Or love in quite the way you do.

        F
And the blue "U" book

     G
  is for the benefit

       F     G  C
    of You

Wondering about the sense of wonder
