Spinning

Life's a bazaar they seem to say
Shopping for things everyday
Life after graduation is another crazy bazaar
Looking for jobs near and far

Surely there must be something more
Than cheap slippers priced at four
Surely there must be something greater
Surely there must be a forever

We don't look up at the starts above anymore
Nor the coulds passing by
We simply hide when the sky begins to pour
We've forgotten the brilliant blue sky

Touch a star fade the night away
The heaven's above in their grand display
How could we have forgotten this grand array
Content to see our lives fade slowly into gray


Spinning around we sping from night to day
We put on our masks and preted that we're just ok
I know there's more but we're too easily content
With getting more things that simply leave us spent

Dear God above the wonder that is Your love
Is greater far than any treasures trove
Help me to see that precious eternity
Before my life fades into forgotten history

Breath a sigh, shed the years away
Shed the fear, bid the sorrow stay
If we could grieve and cease for all our play
Perhaps we'll realise things are really... not ok...

Your love is light, it always has been
Shine through the night, till all our loves are seen
Help us to gaze, up once again at Your light
Help us to stop pur spinning, grant us light
