Thoughts of Life
Dancing to the beat of the song
To the rhythmic sound of the gong
I watch them dance along
As they act right or wrong
They really can't tell
If the journey be short or long
They spend me like money
Sucking out my juice and honey
Wish they new I'm a journey
Their deeds are a phony
I shake my head, it seems funny
My heart cries to them
learn I beg you learn
In me lie lots for you to earn
But I respond only to your yearn
Use me well and grow
You reap in me what you sow
What you own you owe
When it will end you do not know
Swimming with the tide
I watch them glide along
Carelessly they let me slide
Unconcerned that night comes
And the great beyond beckons
