Elmo

Hey, yeah you! Ever been so afraid?
It could be an exam, a fire? Even a friend/best friend...
Yes my best friend is a dog that sings
Yes we're afraid of unspoken things.

A chance to redeem when it’s only necessary,
A life full of colors but tends to be temporary.
The man on top of the mountain is laughing
But the mountain is already crying.

Everyone was happy back in the 80's
Hey aren't we, what were suppose be?
To serve a better purpose as the mighty,
Not as a fish eating killer bee.

So many lives have been lost,
Not only the mighty but the great frost
The skies and seas that once flourished every day
Now in great despair, like a dust being spray.

Soon everything will fade
Only to realize that we broke what was made.
All natural will become mechanical
No time to spend now will be crucial.

Take an action may it be small or big
Rather than staying in hole dug so deep
Be somebody, no be extraordinary!
Let's start our own legacy!
