Somehow humans are naturally cautious
In which direction we steer,
because one quick and brutal turn can
change that special feature in the mirror.
We're told our whole lives to go after our dreams,
but that's hard for those of us
who can't decipher what that means.
We still work and we still try,
because we know there's more for us to just work and then die.
We work and we work and then say that we're tired.
We're not tired,
we're uninspired.
We live as if we've given up
everything we desired.
Pushing away all the things
that build the fire.
To find the difference in math
is to subtract.
Maybe a hint to humans
for how we should act.
Put difference in the years
and add more to our dreams.
We're in a hurry because the world
may not go on as long as it seems.
"Later" could turn into,
"Its's too late."
The time may never be just right,
so don't wait.
