∞ ∞ ∞ But the truth is we've lost our call, We work and get so consumed Thinking success is getting all we can from life We end up losing peace, While comparison drives us mad. We'd say: If only we could add this or that We ride the wheel of pride And feed our flames of ego. This happens to us all, All of humanity is under this curse Satisfaction has become a price to pay While you're not good enough Has become a norm we say We mount up bricks of beautiful designs We desire more heights even when it's late-night We never nurture what we have at hand But we chase that which is yet to come Chase after the wind. It's a plague and we are all infected From one rising sun to the other We work and forget our essence We chase after what never last forever We build security around what could fade overnight We forget satisfaction is never about how much we acquire We run a race we never meant to even start And it becomes harder to stop or take a pause We see our neighbours as competitors I am better than thou become our slogan We meet to discuss how far we've gone How much we've acquired And how much more we want We forget we are not here to last forever Forever is now and salvation is today Don't be deceived by the gainsayers Who charmed you into thinking; You're mightier than what you are? Kings and queens for sure But not to be defined by riches that fades To love and be loved in humble adoration Giving glory to God is our very essence Sharing the love which you've been called unto Serving one another in humility and genuine love Take a pause and reason with me. ∞∞∞
