Earth through the crack of a door
Earth through the crack of a door
The mysterious ways of our world today
Lived is life, which we live today
Secret tales of thousands of years
Yet been discovered through our own peers
Try peeking through the crack of a door
You can realize things that never before
Things that may not interest you much
People are dying, starving, and such
Diverse people fill this colossal cookie bowl
Some people which, are hidden in an abandon hole
Holes are too deep, too thick to get out
They call, and call…crying out for help
Now, they are playing the true game of life
The hard one, the impossible one, as tough as a knife
All people aren’t perfect, they all have their downs
Some don’t understand, and their wearing a gold crown
This crown, to me, is a crown of shame
That one wears, to hide from their true name
But, life is full of some beautiful things
Some we don’t appreciate because were tangled in strings
The toasted crumbs, sit off on their own
The one’s we ignore, like they are postponed
Dying, and starving there’s no time to waste
To them, we can’t move, we’re stuck in thick paste
The paste, gold crowns, and even the strings
Are blocking our path from doing great things
Now, the bowls empty
Was it ever full?
Try to look through it, open it. PULL.
Ignoring the lessons that life seems to sprout
Because were too rushed, to figure things out
It ends so soon, so why be rushed
Once it’s all over your world will be hushed
Before the soul lays and goes right to bed
There are people that suffer, cry, and need to be fed
Microscopes eyes have powerful rays
Follow the light, which comes from each way
This beam wills destroy the crowns, paste and strings
For those aren’t the most of important things
Rewind through the years of which nothing has changed
Rewind to the top and start over again
The mysterious ways of our world today
Lived is life, which we live today
Secret tales of thousands of years
Yet been discovered through our own peers
Peaking through the crack of a door
You feel and see things that never before
So, next time you see a person to feed
Lend out a hand, that’s all that they need.
Now, look carefully is the bowl really empty?
Had it ever been full or has their been plenty?
