Are we truly lucky, to be stuck in this time?
Are we truly lucky, to be paused in our prime?
So many things that could’ve been,
It might be a fantasy that we have seen,
Or maybe it isn’t…
Is our life a gift, or could it be a curse?
The things that we do, are they for the worst?
And wherever we live and wherever we go,
We can be there to put on a show,
Or will we all fail…
Can we leap to the sky, learn to fly and to dance?
Could we all twirl, try to laugh and to prance?
So, are we TRULY lucky? Maybe yes, maybe no,
One little thing, causes us to crumble and go,
Or maybe it won’t…
