L'aura del Campo

After the breakdown

After the breakdown

I've been on that train, watch it rumble by.
... been on that plane, rowing 'cross the sky.

Now in my hole, happy as a mole,
I let those troubles pass me by.

I've been in that car, driving fast and far.
... drove so far until the road ran out.

Got out; spaced out.
Trouble can't find me now.

I've lived that life of daily drama,
of never ending strife.

But now I choose serenity, to live,
to give, to stay alive.

I still gladly greet all who cross my path,
nod at those who walk on by,

yet sit with those who daily join me,
to rest, to chat, to smile awhile.

I give of myself, share what I've lived.
... this happy life, my only life to give.
