Golden Apples

We get golden apples most of the time
But when we get a rotten apple it blows our minds.

Toss it to the side
And get back in stride

So everything has been going extra smooth
And one bad apple has caused you to drink booze?

People please
We all need a little dirt to grow

And with that dirt, unexpected circumstances
We begin to analyze things we never knew
And now we know

No happy-go-lucky all the time
But dire situations can change our minds

Our eyes will open and no longer be blind to change 
Because it only means we need to change our lanes

We’ll find middle ground, neither high nor low
And that’s when we all begin to grow.

And our golden apples will continue to flow
