Balance

Can’t we keep the balance?

Under the sky is everyone’s home
We keep on moving in this unpredictable life
Today is greater than any other day
We build our strength from the dream we’ve built the other night
Although we always trapped in every band new way

Like trying to find the right tone for a song
We throw ourselves into the dark warmed-clouds
It’s all about the rhythm but the rhythm doesn’t sound right
You hold a key in your hand but can’t decide which door it belongs to
Leaving for a place but take the wrong train
Everything goes the other way around

All of us in this world are looking for a simple bliss
Like staring at the rising sun from your bed through an opened-window
Dancing with a glass of wine, following the melody of a song
Or spend the time with your friends in a coffee shop, enjoying the convenience
Trying to ignore all pains, trying to escape from depression

We’re small, reckless and easily tempted
Life is a battle to fight all of the evil’s behaviors
Every being is a hero in this anonymous fight
You can run faster than a twister, fly higher than a rocket
With a heart as light as a feather flying into the deep blue sky

Every little thing does matter 
Love and hatred 
Losing or longing
Doubt and exaggerated
Are mystifying infectivity 
But that is what we are, trying to seize everything
