Sometimes it feels like,
there is so much to do,
Just out of your reach.
The world's problems,
Locked in your basement.
But your hand doesn't reach it.
You can see the sun growing closer,
and the moon fading.
The people killing.
Turn back time a million years,
Just to see yourself grow,
And to get back those moments.
What would you do with the world?
Maybe just keep it, just the way it is.
Maybe fix it, and wait.
Wait for people to ruin it again.
But when it is just out of your reach,
You can only fix the things you touch.
But if your heart abounds,
from every corner of this planet...
...Try to touch the things you can't fix,
They won't be here forever.
