Not In The Show

Not In The Show
Written by: Jeffrey Robert Hilton (2015)

***
IT ALL STARTS SO NEATLY
THIS LIFE AT HAND
NOTHING TO WORRY, NOTHING TO WANT
THEN EVERYTHING CHANGES
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
IT HAPPENS SO QUICKLY, THERES NO TIME TO ASK WHY
FROM MOMENTS SO SPECIAL
TO HOLDING YOUR HEAD IN YOUR HANDS
NOBODY TOLD YOU, LIFE HAS SO MANY DEMANDS
SOMETIMES YOU'RE BARELY HANGING ON
NEXT YOUR SHINING LIKE THE SUN
IT SEEMS TO WORK ITSELF OUT IN THE END
FIND A BALANCE THAT DOESN'T BEND

THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED ON THE HAPPY SIDE
WERE WONDERFUL EACH IN THEIR OWN WAY
GLAD I GOT TO EVEN SAY, BLESS THE ONES I LOST
SOME THINGS JUST NEVER MAKE SENSE
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY
YOU JUST HANG YOUR HEAD, AND CRY
IT GETS BEHIND YOU, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
YEARS ROLL BY ONE BY ONE, NEVER SLOWING DOWN
BUT YOU NEVER NOTICE, TILL TIME IS GETTING ON
YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, HAS FINALLY COME TRUE
YOU'RE PART OF THE CROWD
AND NOT IN THE SHOW ANYMORE

THE SUN IS SETTING ON YOUR LIFE
HOPE IT WAS A GOOD STORY
FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT AND JOY
A LEGACY A LEGEND, IS WHAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE
WHATS LEFT OF ME, WILL I SEE?
IT ALL STARTS SO NEATLY, THIS LIFE AT HAND
THEN IT GETS COMPLICATED, THINGS BREAK
THINGS FALL APART, CAN FINISH BEFORE THEY START
NOTHING TO WORRY, NOTHING TO WANT

****

DO HAVE A GOOD DAY

I thank you for reading this and for your support
