Mysteries abound upon this crazy craft on which we fly through the void
The hows and whys of it remain an eternal question unsolved
Crawling closer to the answers does not present an option for you to avoid
Finding the truth behind the greatest mystery, the one forever unresolved
---
Rest not upon laurels as you navigate the great adventure you were lifted
For time is short and sweet for each of those walking this earth
You may not have asked for such pain and sorrow in this life that's gifted
The story is the same for us all from the very moments of our birth
---
Pain, without love, feels like an eternity stranded in some dark place in hell
But without love would you know the meaning of such a good thing
The wanton cruelty of the cold and endless void heard by a yell
Yet you sit and wait for the doorbell or phone to hopefully ring
---
In a cold and solemn way you sit there and cry
This is no the world you even once as a young one dreamt of
It was all so simple in that distant past as you dreamt and stared at the sky
Thinking that someday you'd find peace, happiness, and even love
---
Time, it got away, as you tried to conquer the world and your voices
Never knowing what was speeding at you, down times highway
Carrying the mountain weight of all those hard and painful choices
To one day stand in the midst of it all, wondering why you stay
---
It is the search for all things that make this life worth the grief
The hope to find your completion in time
Never did you imagine that it would all be taken by an ugly thief
Things can end in an instant, at the drop of a dime
