Finding Dory (Song)

I am a lot like Dory

I forget my last story

I am impulsive and live in the moment

Because my past was painfully bent

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

You're going to find new friends

If you just keep swimming ahead

If Dory found a band

She'd sing and dance with them

She wouldn't worry her pretty head

"Yield to the present" a Buddhist gem

You see, I am whatever religion you want me to be

I was raised with Christ, saved by Buddha and spent 10 years with an atheistic no such coulda

I feel ultimately confused by your rouse

Please dear friend

I know you mean well

Just come join me

I won't kiss and tell

I'd leave this world for you

and truly, I already have

I live in my own mind

with joy and confidence

Books, music, wheels and art

The only tools you'll ever need 

To map a path around my heart

----

Read to me

Play some tunes

Spin your wheels

I'll Paint the room

Just keep swimming, friend

You'll always make me swoon
