inspired by a meme I saw on social media
Coffee and wine
Give me coffee to change
The things I can
And make the best
Of the hand I am dealt
Give me wine to accept
The things I can’t.
going bust doesn’t help
with the plan
The sun rises and sets everyday
The moon still hangs in the sky
The stars are always there
Even when they can’t be seen
And life comes and goes
Even when we get lost in the fog
the light comes to shine
when we don't seem to know where to look
Give me coffee to change
The things I can
And make the best
Of the hand I am dealt
Give me wine to accept
The things I can’t.
going bust doesn’t help
with the plan
Bridge:
Coffee and wine
2 sides to same coin
One wakes you up and
The other slows you down
The ebb and flow
Of life
Give and take
Of Love
Both have a place
And a time
So Give me coffee to change
The things I can
And make the best
Of the hand I am dealt
Give me wine to accept
The things I can’t.
going bust doesn’t help
with the plan

The title drew me in as I have a co-worker (almost typed 'I have a coffee' lol) who can pretty much be defined by these two things. Which is cool because for Christmas I can always buy her coffee or wine-related thngs.
Anyway, mckillop hit it on the head for me, too. Give me that coffee so I can have the strength but I need that wine to deal with what comes after I get that strength lol
I think I'm missing the wine part in my life these days, cause I need something to take the edge off.
The theme of balance in the lyrics comes through, too. And I feel that I could apply things other than actual coffee and wine to this - like resolve and compassion, or determination and the will to endure, etc.
I think great songs make me reflect on personal matters, and this did.

Hey fellow FAWMer!
I love the idea of coffee for action and wine for acceptance.
That is totally creative and insightful.
I enjoy songs that start with the chorus.
Nice work on this.
