the way the slight breeze subsided and waves ceased as you walked by
the way the clouds disappeared and left the sun alone in the sky
i hope you realize the significance, how lucky you must be
from the highest point on the mountaintop to the bottom of the sea
the fact that you gained no recognition for standing on your own two feet
taking an bite out of happiness and remembering how it tasted so sweet
when you took the hit for all your friends just to be left to die
and having no apparent idea like the catcher in the rye
but i bet he had an idea, and he knew how to exploit it better than you
remember when you took four hours to climb a mountain just for the view
i swear you were happy, i swear you saw life with another perspective
you remember how living the good life used to seem so attractive
take the first of many steps and please throw a smile on your face
you just might see something pleasant the next time you stare off into space
