High On Life

when skies shine like topaz and there's blossom on the trees and a slight breeze and you're watching some magpies take flight when the world is so vibrant and your heart is so light and just for a moment you're feeling all right people might believe you need alcohol or drugs or religion or to fall insanely in love with somebody but no other "high" can match simply high on life in those moments sweet and brief pure and innocent no-one's mind games can touch you no-one has the power to break or destroy you you just want to bottle the feeling but you can't and it's so sad because it won't last and you know it won't last it can't last
