Reach for the sky

Hello, good bye
Life has you reaching for the sky
Is free speech 
Still within our reach
Times are changing 
The world.... Rearranging 
What once was, is no more
Having keys that open no door
The roof is now laying on the floor
Decision made on the fly
As your reaching for the sky
Watching to see what happens next 
Sure to be taken out of text
Taking whatever at you,your life may throw
Remember to take it slow
Don't you know
Just one shot
Is all you got
Time weighs down on your shoulders 
Words thrown like boulders
Times you may cry
While reaching for the sky
Faith will get you by
Hope is all you have
Love is the healing salve
Kindness is the way
To thelp others through their day
