Epiphany


I woke up this morning and had an epiphany
Things aren’t always as they seem
Sometimes we gaze through rose-coloured glasses
Imagining things in the shadows

I woke up this morning and had an epiphany
People wear masks
Different colours, different styles
A desperate attempt to hide what they really are
Blurring the line between friend and foe

I woke up this morning and had an epiphany
So different we are, you and me
Though I hadn’t seen it before
I beg your pardon coz I mistook us for two peas in a pod

I woke up this morning and had an epiphany
We spend so much of our lives working for achievements
Money, fame, glory
But the happiness brought on by the presence of loved ones around us in one minute
Is incomparable to 4 years worth of school/office work

I woke up this morning and had an epiphany
That the world isn’t always sunshine and butterflies
Sometimes you’ve gotta bite the bullet
But the sunshine sure feels warm on your skin

I woke up this morning and had an epiphany
Your greatest desire may not be your greatest need
The wisdom to know the difference
Is sought by some, found by few and evades many
