Suddenly
Suddenly, the universe is created,
And then the Earth,
And then suddenly you are there.
Then suddenly you’re a child
And slowly, slowly
You become less wild,
Because as you age you
Suddenly build yourself a cage
To reside in and hide in -
Kind of like Bin Laden
Without the terror or the fear.
Why not just grab another beer?
It’s an error.
Suddenly it becomes clear
That the thing that’s holding you back
Has always been your fear
Of failing. And leaving this life and sailing
Off on your own, all alone.
You have to leave your comfort zone
If you’re ever gonna make it back
All on your own.
‘Cause suddenly, at some point
It has to hit you
That the answer’s not rolled up
Into your joints.
Just remember,
don’t forget to stay aware
That inevitably, at some point,
Suddenly, you’re not there.
