Sand roads, the crocodile river runs parallel to
These sand roads and if you...

Squeeze a stress ball
Tense up your muscles
That's easy enough if I don't want tears.

Tilt your head back
Imagine your happy place
Step away from the situation
Watch and listen to something funny
So far, stopping tears...

In the distance a faint light
Paying my respects at a gravesite
