The Run

This world is a competition.
We're constantly in a race.
A tiring race
And it's always the case.

Some are in the front
And some are behind others.
Some are in the middle
With most others.

Some runners fall
And no one's there to rescue.
The strong ones keep on running,
Yet the weaker ones can't continue.

Unnoticed and unwanted,
They are left behind.
Trapped in a hole
That no one will find.

From the narrow opening they look
Up to the clear, beautiful sky.
They only see the sadness around,
Believing that happiness is a lie.

Under the thick layers
Of gloomy paint,
There lies joyfulness
Although it's faint.

Trying hard
To light up the darkness,
Joyfulness loses
The battle to Hopelessness.

Weeping about their misery,
They never understand
That their future
Is still in their hands.

Climb up that pit
And look up once more.
There's much more happiness
Than you've assumed before.

You just have to recognize
The cheerfulness around.
You just have to realize
That hopefulness surround.

Now help the others
Who are stuck in the void.
And together, keep running
And always be joyed.

The world is wonderful
If you look from the right perspective.
Just keep smiling
Because that is effective.

Let's all run in harmony,
Hand in hand.
For we are a family
And we are friends.
