This day

What a day
What a momentous day
something should happen today that changes me
something that helps me see what I can be.
I need this day be be real to me
I need this momentous day

This great momentous day
Filled with endless choices wrapped in tension
This day of hope and wonder,
this day that sweeps the unprepared off their feet
this day of chance and power

This is the day Heroes are born
a day dastardly plans are laid
a day that, if risks are taken
could ripple through history

Who will see this for what it is?
Who can comprehend the impossible possibilities
that come with sunrise
and the untold legends
that are lost when sun sets.
This Great Momentous Day


Take advantage of what's given to you!!


Crawling through the brush
over dirt, grass, life and death.
thinking of only himself,
thinking of only surviving.
the spider hunts his prey

Oh how I envy him!
you will hear people say
such a life, so simple
when desires are all you run by,
when all you need to know,
is YOU ARE ALIVE.

Here he sits and drinks martini,
leaning back
so FAT
in a robe of red ruby velvet
never moving, unless he must
never moving, he can simply just
call for a slave to fetch his dreams

Oh how I envy him!
you will hear people say
such a life, so simple
when desire is all you run by
when all you need to know
is YOU ARE ALIVE.

oooh, too bad you feel like the prey
too bad you're really the slave.
oooh, truth is you'll never feel safe
you'll never have a real days rest.

....

heart beat slowing
slave lazily getting doctor
so alone...
so alone...
spider, thoughtless, dies without care
master, no friends, never hears a prayer.
never knew a true lover to love him.
never sees the heavens above him

Oh how we envy them!
you will hear people say.
too bad no one sees beneath
they always die in vain
ARE YOU REALLY ALIVE?
DO YOU ONLY SURVIVE?
ARE YOU REALLY ALIVE?
or
DO YOU ONLY SURVIVE?
