Past, Future and Reality

You ever wonder about what lies
Behind the wonder in someones eyes
I was walking doing the street
Moving to my own beat
Thinking about you and me, me and you
And then i ran into this brother who seemed kind of blue
I asked him what was the matter
In reply he offered me some laughter
He told me "happiness doesn't always last"
I replied "you shouldn't stay focused on the past"
"Well you go on and keep your humming"
I did but my pace turned to running
Negativity has a way of trapping you
Running your race, hoping it doesn't end up lapping you
As i turned the corner i wanted to look back and see
There was a woman waiting for me
She offered a smile, offered me tea and asked if i had a minute
I really had to get going, but i stayed and asked her whats in it
She replied "i sprinkled some opportunity and time, added a pinch of hope"
A few sips and i felt like i was on dope
She told me to keep smiling and soon i would understand
I did, thanked her for her tea and continued my plan
Right when i made it to my stop, i found
something that made an awful good sound
It was a child with hair as big as the sun
And he was banging on a steel drum
He ordered me to dance and i twisted my hips
He continued to bang as i parted my lips
He gave me a small little note that he placed in my palm
Said it was a recipe for when in a storm to stay calm
Brightness surrounded him and I
And in an instant i wanted to cry
But his hands kept banging and he whispered something
"You have everything you need. Want for nothing"
The past is just the past
Sadness never last
The future gives you optimism
To break free from any mental prison
But you're reality has the power to make you dance
If you focus on the good and give it a chance :)
