Of what I was once
a Joie de vivre
Happy innocent and gay
Clinging to the edge
Where is the hope
The wonder of life all but gone
Am sitting watching
robins flapping
Motor bikes rattling by
People walking and talking
What more can there be
Sirens are sounding out their distress calls
Fix up other’s mess
Feet aching
Head is breaking
Heart is broken
There was never a notion
Of things to come
Live apart but pray onto others
For Love to conquer all
What more you say
Say yes and give it all up
So we can be together
Under the stars and ether
Creating all the heat that’s needed
After that spark had seeded
The initial flame
No ones to blame
In the end
They are all the same
