Deadbeat World

On the outside the deadbeat world,
Racing forward to let your mind unfold.
Casting light in to the shadows,
Revealing what the darkness never shows.
And for a split second there is faith and hope,
Before disappearing,
Unable to cope.

Bring up those who cannot see,
To climb on up the branches of trees.
Because we're always ready for change,
To take a chance and re-arrange.

Lie in the evening orange glow,
The flight of clouds now so slow,
As they dip and merge in to a night of purple and black.
Outside the deadbeat world wakes up of its back.

Watch the stars puncture the blanket to glimmer,
No one is a saint,
No one is a sinner.

Morning chorus to put the darkness at rest,
Waking up and prepared for the never-ending test.

Take it as a sign,
The rushing of people desperate to climb.
Step back and admire,
That there's no need to work to retire.

Spend the days at creative peaks,
All new boundaries are here to seek.
And remember….
We are not defenceless,
But not to be fooled that we are also useless.
Despite the outside deadbeat worlds threat to harm,
It can never deny the determined and calm.

Hold on to your dreams and for a better start,
Turn your life in to a work of art.
