We wander lost, confused by the journey
What if’s and maybe have us feeling vexed
It’s hard to imagine finding amazing
Sedated daily with what’s coming next
Passing through a world of mazes
Making the simple things feel complex
Minimal success with astounding praises
We lose ourselves and appear perplexed
To find the joy that a moment possesses
To feel the hunger and reward ourselves
We must find the fine line of wisdom and losses
Our very breath exhaled revealing applause
So, what of today will improve our tomorrow’s
Future and present exposed to the past
Blending with care our joy and our sorrows
Where whoever we are is enough, at last
