Life in Perspective
Look to the sky and make a wish.
Feel the crisp wind blowing through your hair, swish swish swish.
Think about your life, what you have and what you lack.
Contemplating your future, laying sleepless like an insomniac.
Look to the sky and what do you see
I see the world ours for the taking just you and me.
Dreams of traveling the world and falling in love.
Taking flight and flying free, up above turtledove.
Hope for the success your parents would be proud of.
Working your hardest to impress, will it really pay off?
From babies to adults and tears in your eyes
As your kids pack their lives in bags, and say their goodbyes.
Growing old and making it last.
Slow down, we're going to fast.
Go to the doctors they promise a week.
Watch the waves roll near, mild and meek.
You lay under the sun, soaking the warmth and let out a sigh.
As you take your last breath, with a smile and die.
