Heads Up

Sometimes I sit and wonder if we got it all wrong
Staring down at our feet as the world spins along

Could pick up our head to start seeing in a new light
Realizing beauty is abound if we adjust our eyesight  

Opportunities unlock when we zoom out our focus 
Things we missed before are now suddenly noticed 

Might even look up to see the sun shining brighter 
Allowing us to move through our days a little lighter
