Every life must have a reason So I thought the story goes Just holding onto dreams now, As reality steals the show Wisdom such an asset, But it’s gained too late in life The prize of youth without control Just the blade but not the knife
The challenge is here, Don’t say what you fear What’s over the hill do you know No longer the child, once where so wild Wait for the hold man to show
I wake up every morning, Though I’ve slept through All of these years A cog that turns another, Am I clockwork puppeteer? The treadmill of surviving I’m still spinning round and round The motions I’m use to, That I need no sight nor sound
The dawn of life, I’ve waited long to see Now the figure of resentment, This is not how I thought it would be…….
Can’t you see?
The challenge is here, Don’t say what you fear What’s over the hill do you know No longer the child, once where so wild Wait for the hold man to show The truth in the eyes, still wear the disguise For the wonders you may never see It’s high time to fear, the final frontier The face in the crowd is now me
I painted life by numbers, Every color mixed so true But how could I paint a rainbow, When all I saw, it’s was blue The picture now is drying, As I wipe dust from the frame A lifetime’s picture is complete But the canvas is still so plain
