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
