Collecting pieces from reality
Like hunting the best-flavored jelly beans
Comparing the numbers
I look down and wonder
Why doesn't life cut me a break
And like the sun I feel it's glare
A history that's been so unfair
I wear hope like shades
Walk cool not fazed
And just try to savor the taste
Well I look both ways
And up and down and round and round
It still feels the same
Time tugs my arm
And life tries to trip
But this moment
Pulls me everyway
