If right now, your world’s on hold and you don’t know what to do,
When all the plans you made in joy just keep on falling through,
When it seems as though the world at large isn’t making any sense,
I thought I’d jot a little note to put in my two cents
People will still walk their dogs and throw a ball or two.
People still have love lives where they don’t know what to do.
There are still messages in the ether, people’s hearts out on the line
Waiting those 3 dots reply, “Are their feelings same as mine?”
There are women getting pregnant and kids learning ABC’s
There are high school students in exams using parenthesis
There are people writing cook books and musicians composing songs
There are still people searching their bedrooms for their favourite pair of thongs
What I mean to say, is all the while, the world is still a’turning
And all those hopes and dreams you have are desperate you don’t stop yearning
Erasmus students are still travelling and drinking out at bars
And people are still driving round and making out in cars
We are ok, despite the News. The world is wide and long.
And if you start to doubt it, I encourage you to play along.
Go find a patch of normal and sit there for a while.
I think you’ll find something out there that will give you cause to smile.
Rome will still be Rome tomorrow, Paris is still ‘Paree’
London bridge ain’t falling and there’s still Guinness in Tipperary!
So while plans may be slowing and you’re not sure what to do
Go live your life as best you can, till your dreams come call for you.
