Just watching the world change
When we can afford the serenity to bask in the leisure of peace, we should exploit said godsend. That being said, I find it severely confounding that the urge to rush headlong into a mad rush continues to propagate. Strange enough, that sentence reminded me of lemmings dashing into the sea.
The relentless march of progress demands it! We, we are mighty humans, and we can change the world. We change the world and we demand instant results! Such selfless and noble pursuit of the betterment of mankind must not be scoffed at. No, no! The gradual asphyxiation is hardly a harsh price to pay for.
Could you bite the hand?
Steve ConteAnother gun for hire and just another day
When you are done, you just abuse it, whatever you say
If you were offered some, would you wanna bite the hand?
Would you betray a friend to prove you're cold, then walk away?
We were born with nothin', I don't want, but you need something
You want glory, I need none and it's coming between us
People are born with
People are born without
Some people have
And others want
What some go without
Some people live free
Some people just want more
As for me, I got all that I need
Do you still think that we're not brave if we don't bleed?
We've seen so much blood and violence already, how much do you need?
You howl and fight your war and talk of being free
Won't let you in, they're just usin' you, so why won't you see?
Some people are born so much closer to the sun
Holdin' out their hands and grabbin' golden rays, they are the chosen few
But we both know of course that's not you or me
And I'd be telling the truth if I said it don't matter, so how 'bout you?
Can you tell me really you don't need it, you don't want it
If you can, cool, if you can't, the difference between us
People are born with
People are born without
Some people have
And others want
What some go without
Some people live free
Some people just want more
As for me I got all that I need
Don't got much, but I got what I need
Some people are always reachin' for some things that they don't need
I'll tell you now with thoughts like that there will never be enough
Some people are always struggling for something that is not
I'll tell you something now that I'm really just fine lovin' what I got
I must profess, I am in no position to lecture on about the unpleasantness in life, but I urge what few readers I have to ponder that which transpires around us.
To take a moment of the unyielding routine of life, and contemplate our situation, to think about the world. What is your position, what is your purpose? Is there one?
We all need that particular guiding light to illuminate the path to self-dicovery and to fufilment beyond the physical. There's something everyone must believe it, some truth inside that pushes you onward, that encourages each tentative step in life.
Like what I beleived in years ago looking into the stars that night, hearing their sweet song. I thought it was sufficient if this life was spent watching the world change.
I still stand by that.
