They say if you try to cling to it, you’ll lose it, sure as you do

Does it mean that you’re lacking in faith, so it’s taken away from you

For surely the bible will tell us, have faith and you can succeed

You’ll get more than you ever wanted, more even, than you’ll ever need

The formula it seems quite easy, but the questions they still abound

We’re always looking for the exception, we look till it’s finally found

But is it really an exception, the presupposition, is quite profound

We’re assuming our faith is strong, when really is it even around

Maybe that is the big secret, of survival both then and now

Just keep the cruise control running, have faith and don’t worry how

It’s when we get to thinking, how much longer can this be good

That we really kill our rhythm, we question instead of enjoying as we should

It seems so easy when I write it, in rhyme it really flows

But then I get to thinking, how much more can I really grow

Now I’ve watched other people, who seem to suffer as they go

Their life seems filled with hardship, but their expressions don’t seem to show

I guess it’s all in our perception, of what we’re used to and then expect

It really lends some credence, what you want is what you’ll get

But you really need to want it, and to want it, means you enjoy

So wanting and enjoying it together, it’s the Universe giving you a toy

It’s when you struggle without passion, one thing goes wrong then more

You probably don’t like what you’re doing, so what are you doing it for?

There were things I’ve said, I really liked, because I had little choice

I did them for the money, not because of some inner voice

And now when I think about it, there’s nothing I don’t enjoy

I still can’t believe I write poetry, to me it’s little more than a toy

But this must be my mission, to find the words that rhyme
