To break the mold

The rich gets richer,
The poor gets poorer,
The fit gets fitter,
The fat gets fatter,
That is momentum of our lives,
That is how we normally live.

But it doesn't have to be that way,
You could turn it around the other way,
You could control the outcome of your life,
But it would be the fight of your life.

It would take a lot of energy,
It would take a lot of effort,
It would cause a lot of grief and anger,
It could be the end of you.

But things won't get better if you don't do it,
Things won't improve if you don't face it,
You have to stand up and completely beat it,
Or it will overcome and completely beat you.

Look for strength in hope and prayer,
Look for support from your progress each day,
You can make it if you stick to it,
And once you've turned it around...

The rich gets richer,
The fit gets fitter,
And you... live the life you deserve...

The lightning

We were born in the darkness,
And saw nothing around us,
We did not care for what is out there,
For we did not know anything existed.

Then came the lightning,
For a brief moment there was light,
We saw ourselves, where we are, and what we could be,
We saw hope and we saw opportunity.

Then as soon as it came it disappeared,
And we plummeted again into the darkness,
But our heart never did,
For in that brief moment it has changed.

For that brief moment we saw the future,
For that brief moment we had relief,
For that brief moment we were happy,
For that brief moment we learned to hope.

And so the darkness brought despair,
And with it loneliness,
For finally we couldn't bear,
Being in the darkness.

The grumpy old man

Why, back in my days..
Says the grumpy old man,
So he says about the days,
When he was young.

Why, back in my days..
Says the grumpy old man,
The world was a better place,
When he was young.

Why, back in my days..
Says the grumpy old man,
The people were nicer,
When he was young.

Why, back in my days..
Says the grumpy old man,
There was not much worry and suffering,
When he was young.

Why, back in my days..
Says the grumpy old man,
I would not stand for this,
When he was young.

I am young...
