The sky is crying this afternoon,
but it’s no surprise that the universe is gloomy.
After all, from afar, the world is mostly blue.
Sunrise and sunset…
is the glass half full or half empty?
Tell me how, time can be money
when the time is different in London and New York City?
Tell me why, we rush through life
and then complain that we don’t have time.
We take pill to help us sleep; different doses.
and then get up early to chase our dreams.
We’re so caught up in climbing the ladder more
to realize where the ladder leads.
What happened to stopping and smelling the roses?
Now we cut them down because we don’t like the thorns.
The sky is crying this afternoon,
But it’s no surprise that the universe is gloomy.
After all, from afar, the world is mostly blue.
Sunrise and sunset…
is the glass half full or half empty?
The stars watch and shake their heads,
as we chase after temporary bliss, instead.
The planets continue to revolve around the sun,
and we’ll keep spinning, even after we’re done.
