Never Enough Time
When will we find the time to appreciate
The flowers that bloom when the Sun shines bright
The stars that light up the sky at night
The children who run around laughing while flying their kites
The blue of the sky that never leaves your sight
When will we find the time
When all of it is wasted on ridiculous things
Such as wars, and guns, instead of the lady who sings
We focus on fulfilling the gruesome wishes of kings
When we could study the art of angels and their wings
When will we find the time
Maybe once all this nonsense comes to an end
When we realize that we should find people to befriend
When we decide to soak in serenity on weekends
Oh, when will we find the time...
