Life

Grayson Franke

    There will come hard times,

Filled with war and crimes,

But the world keeps on spinning.

 

Sometimes it is death, or grief, or madness.

Sometimes it will feel like the world is filled with sadness.

But the world keeps on spinning.

 

Sometimes you’ll be knocked down–a push or shove or trip.

But what matters is getting up after the slip.

The world keeps on spinning.

 

The time is now to change the world: one step, one jump, one leap.

Everyone must do their part, by the kindness of their heart.

And when you’re done, remember: where did all this start?

The world keeps on spinning.

 

Yes, you can change the world, one person at a time.

You must let your kindness shine, shine right through the grime.

The world keeps on spinning.
