Film Life

remember when we first went to see a film Remember the first disk we bought, oh so slim Remember when we first turned on that channel, not so dim The zeal and zest of the movie life They made us laugh to build our days Made us cry to correct our ways Made us sing along to show us the way The zeal and zest of the movie life It was by chance that we discovered fiction We wore sheets as capes and run around no knowing friction Refused walks due to the addiction The zeal and zest of the movie life Then, saw older brother watching a drama We followed through to see unfolding of karma The journey continued, dedicated as a farmer The zeal and zest of the movie life One day, walking in an a Sylvester fight scene Thinking to ourselves, all my life, where have you been More and more violence, something we'd never seen The zeal and zest of the movie life Then one day stumbled on the brains behind the brawn The truth about the guy the guy who mowed the lawn Uncovered what happened to the guy who made the call The zeal and zest of the movie life Mirror mirror on the wall I am your father, not at all Daily allusions, just like roll call The zeal and zest of the movie life They build our personality in every which way With it we build a family with ones who follow the same lane In them we have a safe space for escape where we have a say The zeal and zest of the movie life For the sublime storylines, we applaud For the billions of emotions, we adore For the sea of emotions, implore The zeal and zest of the movie life
