Carpe Diem
we are players, the world our stage
carpe diem is our one line
like singing birds trapped in a cage
watching clocks and counting time
one day the cage door will open wide
to spred our wings and fly away
to find a breeze which we might ride
or wait until another day
should i be tempted to leave this place
of bars and perch i sit and weep
or float away with unseen grace
and find a nest somewhere and sleep
we are players, the world our stage
carpe diem is our one line
lets all break free of this worlds rage
and begin a better, more loving time.
