The Grass Is Greener
Violence, drugs, and war
He wakes up and hears the lions roar
Encompassed by this world
His dreams no longer held
Seeing no way out
He decides not to move out
No, screams his patient he is supposed to save
No, says his client that would be in his is court case
No, shouts his teammate with whom he’d play
No, whispers his daughter who he should create
In unison they tell him of his better life
The Grass is Greener on the other side
