Row Your Boat

Row, Row, Row your boat 
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
Life is but a dream

As a child people try to hide the dark side of life
They do this with stupid nursery rhymes like this
The line life is but a dream is a lie
Life is anything but a dream
It’s more like a nightmare 

As you grow older,
You understand that life isn’t a dream, 
It’s actually a nightmare,
However, You don’t get to wake up

You’re stuck living your life
No matter how hard you try,
You’re always gonna be betrayed, replaced, hurt, and left

Attitude makes all the difference! Most people believe opportunity is just around the corner whereas opportunity slaps them in the face every day but they don't see it because they believe it is still around the corner! Aloha!
