When I awoke in bed today,
I saw the world in a new way.
I saw before me, all my life.
I saw success and I saw strife.
There was order, a comfy house.
And a brightly smiling child and spouse.
There was chaos, an exotic wind,
Stoking the flames of freedom within.
There was greatness, pleasure and gold.
Yet there was weakness, pain and mold.
There were angels and there were demons,
From above and from below.
There was rage and there was peace,
There was rain and hail and snow.
I saw every choice I’d ever make,
My adventure and my heartbreak.
I saw the good, the ugly, the bad,
I saw the happy and saw the sad.
I saw what my day would be like today,
And I wouldn’t have it another way.
