Nothing's Change

I closed my eyes and said a lullaby... I opened them- and every thing's still the same. I closed my eyes and counted till five. I opened them... nothing's change. I closed my eyes and rehearsed a line... I opened them- everyone was still the same. I closed my eyes... and this time, I said no lullabies; I count not! Either was I rehearsing anything... When I closed my eyes, tears pour out of them. I opened them and the preacher was saying... 'I lift up my eyes to the hills..." Nothing's Change
