We hold on to things the tightest. when we are forced to let them go
we always want things a certain way, when we know they cant be so
Dreams always last the longest, when they are furthest from our reach
and the lessons we can learn the most from , are often the very ones we teach
The grass is always the greenest, when it lies on the other side
and the truths we preach to others, are often those we cant abide
we hold fast to the things in a storm, which are most likely to blow away
and yet we neglect to wear sunscreen, on a bright and sunny day
we spend our time tryin to see things, when perspective is one thing we lack
and we never appreciate what we’ve got, untill we cant get it back.
we expect the whole world to give us a break, and yet ironically we’ll find
that when other come asking the same of us, we tell them they’re out of their mind
We tell everyone whats wrong with this world, and we do nothing to make it right
we complain about families fallin apart, and yet do nothing to keep them tight
we preach about loving our neighbors, and we teach children right from wrong
but we never set good examples for them, when real chances come along
We complain about not having enough time in our lives, to do what we must do
yet if we were given more hours in the day, we’d use up all that too
we desire to be close to all those we love, yet all too often look on from afar
and when it comes to the truth do we want to change, or remain forever as we are?
