WATCHING THE WORLD GO PASSING BY
DAY AFTER DAY ALL THE SAME,
PEOPLE ALL MOVING IN ONE DIRECTION
EACH WITH A DIFFERENT AIM.
MOVING ON FORWARD, NO TIME TO STOP
NO TIME TO LOOK AROUND
RUSHING THROUGH LIFE DAY BY DAY
MAKING A DIFFERENT SOUND.
GOING SO FAST THERE’S NO TIME TO THINK
OR CARE ABOUT WHAT IS OUT THERE
ALL BY OURSELVES YET OUT IN A CROWD
NO TIME TO STOP AND SHARE.
THE WORLD KEEPS ON TURNING DAY AFTER DAY
AND TIME PASSES TOO QUICKLY BY
BEFORE WE HAVE CHANCE TO SAY “HELLO”
WE HAVE TO SAY “GOODBYE”
SO AS THE WORLD GOES PASSING BY
STOP FOR JUST A WHILE
TAKE TIME JUST TO LOOK AROUND
AND MAYBE TRY A SMILE.
