What Are The Chances

You could say in a way

We're having the time of our life

Depending on your perspective

I know for me

Life's greatest blessings

Came from my darkest hours

This taught me to see life as a gift

A blessed opportunity

Which is how I know

Things CAN be good

No matter how they appear

Cause everything we experience

Gives us another chance to choose

Nothing ever stays the same

And change is what we need

We've chosen so far

To be led along

Like obedient little sheeples

So then we could say

It's all THEIR fault

How could I be to blame

I'm not the starving children

Sending our youth off to war

Raping and pillaging our planet

I just choose to ignore

Don't make me responsible

What could I do anyway

I just try to get along

At least

While I'm not the one hurting

But change is only

A matter of choice

And time might be running out

So can't we all just get along

Start helping out one another

Make sure EVERYONE

Gets their piece of the pie

While we harmonize

With our Mother

She's been very patient

I would say

But her patience is wearing thin

If we don't see our potential

She might have to give us a shout

WAKE UP little sheeples

Don't be afraid

Just take ALL to account

When we stop hurting each other

We'll be able to work things out

Nothing lasts forever

And change can come overnight

But till EVERY person is happy

We still won't have it right

There's quite enough

To be had by all

And none need ever suffer

When each makes the commitment

"In word or deed I will do no harm"

Forgiveness and love

Will rule our actions

And the POWER

Which abides in the moment

Can transform ALL that is wrong
