Thinking

5/6/17


Tell the world I love them
I'm not trying to judge them
Or put anyone above them

Tell the world I love them
I'm not trying to judge them
Or put anyone above them


It's all over

Why are you barely ever sober?

After all, we're not getting any younger, only older


Did you think it would always be good news that I'm bringing?

The talented lady allready stopped singing

What in world were you thinking?

And how much have you really been drinking?

Better pay attention more and open your eyes up with less blinking


It's becoming a big thing

You knew you were sinking

And always had an inkling

For so long you've been clinging and winging


It's no wonder opportunites haven't really been linking

Towards the fences you've been barely ever swinging


Instead it's been a double edge sword ever since the beginning

Lift your head up and continue living

Regardless of if you aren't always winning

Don't give up, keep working and digging

Tell the world I love them
I'm not trying to judge them
Or put anyone above them

Tell the world I love them
I'm not trying to judge them
Or put anyone above them
