Every face tells a story: Sad to be alive Or living in glory; Struggling to survive Or living without worry; Wanting to consume more and more and more, Or moving through life eager to learn and explore.
Football is a game of inches. Basketball’s a game of angles. Some faces say that their life pinches. Some faces say that they are angels.
Do you prefer to live in fear And wear a face without much cheer? Or would you rather see through the gray And wear your face a more cheerful way? And not using your brain to its full capacity Reflects on your face as a lack of curiosity.
Yes, every face tells a story: Between feeling distraught about why you’re here And living peacefully without worry; Between living in a constant state of fear And living in a constant state of glory.
So what’s your face say? What’s your story? Are you living in fear or living in glory?
