Ups and Downs

The darkness is pierced
By the morning Sun
That light is beautiful
I'm mesmerized by it

But soon I
Can't open my eyes
But eventually
I get used to it

Surrounded
By precious things
The heart turns into stone

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories
A happy ending is just a snapshot in time
Life is a journey, not a destination
Enjoy the ride
With ups and downs

My friend enjoys
Courage for the plate
Holding a platinum knife
With soft fine glow

But his eyes
Did not shine
What he missed is that
He cannot be overthrown

Surrounded
By precious things
My heart turns into stone

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories
A happy ending is just a snapshot in time
Life is a journey, not a destination
Enjoy the ride
With ups and downs

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories
Sometimes you have to play supporting roles, oh
But what matters is that your eyes shine
In the moment

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories
A happy ending is just a snapshot in time
Life is a journey, not a destination
Enjoy the ride
With ups and downs
