What if we lost track of time 

If we lived every moment on a flip of a dime 

What if there was no such thing as crime

If everyday wasn’t as bitter as a lime 


What if we could never cry 

If we never had to say goodbye

Would we be the same if we tried

Tried not to be the bad guy 

 

What if life wasn’t so hard 

If we could all pass with a green card 

What if little kids could just play in their yards 

If toys and games was all they’d regard


I wish everything could be this way 

Never to have a bad day 

All evil picks up and goes away

True glimpses of heaven are on display


But this isn’t how we live

Life has no games nor festives 

Life can sometimes get abusive

And that’s why life is delusive
