The Circle of Life

Life is just a circle Filled with many paths Some people stroll along them And others run so fast Me? I am a runner Dashing here and there Always in hurry To avoid my fear But, you know, I think I’ve got it now There is no need to fear I’m learning to slow down my pace And treasure what is here Instead of my life passing me In a vision of fog and haze I’m taking much more pleasure Embracing all my days The future is uncertain And really never seen Too much time is lost Thinking ‘bout what might have been The part of most importance Is the present, here and now And I don’t want to waste it I get the reason now!
