Humans really are so odd to understand Can't someone just give them a hand? It's quite painful to watch as they all Try over and over to walk on the wall. One foot in front of the other They end up the same way so why bother? Don't they ever get tired of failing? It's like a train with no railing. I think to myself "why do they continue to try?" Wouldn't it just be easier to give up and cry? And yet, even knowing it'd be easiest to quit, they try over and over to reach the exit. Suddenly, like magic, something changes. Now they've learned to rely on each other. And they are all climbing on top of one another. And one by one they climb up that wall and I realize that it wasn't too tall. And thus, in my head, I think to myself, I guess humans, aren't so bad, after all.
