Bumps in the road

Rushing down the streets
To work, school, the gym, whatever
everything just flashes by
we do not take the time to see.
To see how beautiful our world is
How beautiful we are
All we see is the time ticking by
and way too fast, we think by ourselves.

Maybe
if we started opening our eyes
and have a look around us
instead of hurrying
from one place to an other
we'd see what we have been missing for so long
We'd see how beautiful our world
and our lifes are
if we'd only want to see it.

But no
we just keep on running around
with our eyes closed
not caring a single bit
about everything that's happening around us.
Until we bang into this wall
Hey that's what happens when you
run around with your
eyes closed
Sometimes it's just a small bump
and we keep on running
like we did before
ignorant of the sign
the universe just sent us.
Other times it's a big bump
and we feel sorry for ourselves
while we should feel honoured
for been handed the opportunity
to see life
and love
in a different perspective.

It's strange though
that it takes us
several bumps
to open up our eyes
and see what life's
really about.
