What to do when things aren’t working out
You keep a lot quitter and whisper don’t shout
You touch anything and it breaks in your hand
You feel like you’re sinking in the desert sand.
Friends back away some break their word
You don’t feel free like the bees and bird
Instead you feel sad anxious and a little ashamed
Your name my friend can be easily defamed.
Being yourself in good days and bad
This isn’t a fashion or a passing fad
We’re all so complex made up of different layers
The fool the wise and the weak mixed in with the dragon slayers.
We must be the same in both light and dark
Playing our games in the street and park
Some sides of us all can look pretty good
We're all whole beings wherever we’re stood.
A hot sunny day and fire engines race by
In the years to come I’d imagine they’ll fly
Maybe it’s not too late and we'll find our way
If you’re longing for change you could make it today.
Blue skies and clouds floating in Heaven above
Life’s knocking us around with her boxing glove
She’s not easy nor a prize to be won
Learning to dance with her sure seems like fun.
Maybe it’s time to change your tone or perspective
Take a deeper look and become a little more reflective
The world’s an open place and gives you some freedom of choice
Still it’s good to be quiet and rest your mind and voice.
People in the café sit and talk
Some looking at phones others eating with a knife and fork
Control what you can and start from there
Girls in summer outfits and yes we know they care.
