MAYBE JUST MAYBE


Hopefully, all the hardships will end. Actually all hardships will end 

I know that it will get better, that the situation will change 

That the morning will be brighter, but sometimes 

I need to gather and pick myself up

Because the load that life throws at me can get a little heavy 

And make me lose balance 

 

Maybe! if life was a little easier, then we would all be  little happier 

And who knows, wine would be a little expensive 

And money would be a little more common, don't you thik?

 

So while the world keeps on spinning 

Shoes get more expensive and people more confusing 

I'll keep on staring at the leaves falling from the tree 

Smile at the children playing in the sun 

And gaze at the sunset that brings the night stars after it 

Maybe we'll be fine, maybe we'll be okay and maybe not 

Maybe just maybe

Sure
M.Emma.
It's somehow similar to a parable, right?
