Don't let life pass you by
WE'RE ALL ON THIS MOMENTARY JOURNEY,
ON THIS BLUE AND GREEN SPECK
TRYING TO BE HAPPY,
YET FRAUGHT WITH WORRY, THE GODS LAID OUT
A LAVISH BANQUET
BUT ALL YOU DO IS PECK.
BELIEVING THAT YOU'RE UNWORTHY,
THAT LOVE IS ONLY FOR HEAVEN'S FAVOURITES,
YOU'RE CLOAKED IN YOUR SHADOWS,
WITH DOUBT
AND LONELINESS
FOR COMPANY,
WHILE ALL THE WHILE
THE CLOCK TICKS,
LIKE A FOREBODING BACKGROUND SCORE,
HOPING TO REMIND YOU
OF YOUR FLEETING
LIFE.
ALL AROUND YOU
IS A CELEBRATION,
NATURE,
HOPE AND REBIRTH,
BUT WITH EYES
TIGHTLY SHUT,
YOU REWRITE YOUR SCRIPT
IN DARKNESS.
I HOPE YOU
LOOK AROUND
AND SEE,
THAT LIFE'S NOT AS BAD
AS YOU THINK IT TO BE,
THAT LOVE
IS WAITING FOR YOU,
IN THE ARMS
OF SOMEONE NEW,
IF YOU'LL ONLY BELIEVE IT'S TRUE,
THERE'S NO ONE AS SPECIAL
AS YOU!
