Life Like a Ball

It was freezing like hell
When the time was swell
Air was filled with a scent
It was sweet and it meant

Champagne was poured onto our lips
People were dancing, moving their hips
Life used to be better but
Now it didn’t matter

People were trapped in a maze
Unaware they were amazed
No one looked for the way out
Everyone was lost in the crowd

We were freezing like hell
But the time was swell
We spoke about the freedom
Though no one was thankful

People admired the kingdom
But were loaded with boredom
Sometimes life seemed tiring
But the ball kept on inspiring
