I sit outside and wonder why
I’m alive, and not knowing what ‘s next
I see others passing by in a hurry
for the next day, I tell them not to worry.
There are other days after this one
just sit tight and watch the clouds pass by
But if you need to do what you have to do
You’re going to have to leave and die.
Just sit by me for an hour or two
and then do what you have to do
Watch the birds make their nests
and the butterflies sleep in their cocoons.
Watch the leaves fall off their homes
and the grass grow taller
watch the sun go down
and feel your eyes getting smaller.
