It’s amazing how the little things

That happen day to day

Can mean so very much

But never seem to stay

We hear of terror on the news

And see bodies of the dead

Words of wisdom fill our ears

But the wisest stays unsaid

We haven’t fully realized

How simple life can be

But now that we’ve grown up

It’s about time that we see

We only care about ourselves

The world is here and now

We don’t see life outside this place

And we never question how

Then suddenly it hits us

And we finally understand

The horror of the outside world

Where no one lends a hand

And now that we can see it

We just want to run away

We never saw how little things

Could affect us in this way
