Life’s Simile Happy Pill
Life is really full of surprises When you’re sad
Sometimes you fall, then you rise I can make you laugh
One day you’re high in the sky When you’re in pain
Next day, you’re down and you wonder why I can be your medicine
When you’re alone
You go forward and then go back I can make a phone call
Never reaching the way out When you’re in trouble
Just like the twists and turns of the maze I can be your hero
You always have something to gaze But
When I’m sad
So surprising and so full of emotion You’re not here by my side
You hear the roar of the waves just like the ocean When I’m in pain
It becomes more rough and rough You’re nowhere to find
And everyday is a challenge, you need to be tough When I’m alone
You’re not answering my call
You know you can’t quit what you have begun When I’m in trouble
Like solving a puzzle in more ways than one You’re not around
Each piece of it represents part of you Anyway
Your journey, your goals, and all in your view I’m just here
Waiting for you to come near
Remember theses events that is out of your control Always be your shoulder to cry on
But if you BELIEVE, you can reach your goal Your HAPPY PILL, your friend to lean on.
You do have your ups and downs
In this world full of ghosts and clowns.
