So, I can't sleep I think of the terrors Mass murders Suffering & Greed I don't understand it. I feel helpless, hopeless I see no point to it. I don't understand So this is depression Or Is this the world The world now The world a whirl of Suffering & Greed I see the fat cats raking it in & I see flesh pulled tight over bones The bears no longer dancing but standing in locked cages Begging for food I have nightmares like this And I pray But what does praying do? I listen. I hear. 'Focus on the Little Things.' Hold on. Hold still Focus on your bed your body your immediate surroundings Take care make your bed Rest your head Wash Breathe Eat well Move Breathe Breathe Focus on the little things Stay focused Right here Right now Right in front No past nor future No countries or cities away Look There are things to help Things to fix Right in front Make your bed Rest your head Focus on the little things And don't forget to breathe.

The Little Things
So, I can't sleep I think of the terrors Mass murders Suffering & Greed I don't understand it. I feel helpless, hopeless I see no point to it. I don't understand So this is depression Or Is this the world The world now The world a whirl of Suffering & Greed I see the fat cats raking it in & I see flesh pulled tight over bones The bears no longer dancing but standing in locked cages Begging for food I have nightmares like this And I pray But what does praying do? I listen. I hear. 'Focus on the Little Things.' Hold on. Hold still Focus on your bed your body your immediate surroundings Take care make your bed Rest your head Wash Breathe Eat well Move Breathe Breathe Focus on the little things Stay focused Right here Right now Right in front No past nor future No countries or cities away Look There are things to help Things to fix Right in front Make your bed Rest your head Focus on the little things And don't forget to breathe.
