Highlighter

Well, it’s not a bad habit
It sweeps hate out of my heart
No, it’s a friendly reminder
It puts a frame around the art

It doesn’t seem so wrong
No, it underscores the stronger truth
Yes, it helps me feel the song
Sharpens, my sweet tooth

It reiterates the creed
When I need to remember
To plant an ember’s seed
At the end of December

For, through the flowering field
Buzz the vibin’ bees
To our life-giving sun 
Grow the grateful trees

   You know they really do-o-oooh
   You know they really do

      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      And I know, it’s really good for me


I’ve got a wick of hemp rope, 
And it helps me haul myself out of a hole
My mellow bellows
Stokes the fire in my soul

My eyes are flickering lights
The way is not without a doubt
So I shine the brights
Now and then to show the route

      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      And I know, it’s really good for me


            It will dig any trench you put it to
            So let it leave irrigation channels for you
            It bends the lens to focus our eyes
            So ask yourself, what do you emphasize
            Be about the beauty
            Live in the light of love
            Stroll in the stride of meaning
            See the way from this place high above


So I take an honest dose
So I take a good excuse
I won’t take it for granted
No, I’ll put it to a better use

I know a highlighter, 
Its value lies in contrast
I’ve got to catch the flame
As the torch to me is passed

      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      I keep a green highlighter in my pocket
      And I know, it’s really good for me
