Ticket 2 Ride

The face of a clock hides behind time

But the mirror can never lie

Even the most convincing performance

Cannot hide the tear in your eye

~

How are you? I’m fine

To the world out there

Inside, the storm is raging

None of this seems fair

~

There’s no peace in the valley

For as long as this endures

Climbing back to equilibrium

Life expects you to find the cures

~

There are no ladders from heaven

Or buying a more blissful attitude

Search the contents of your soul

Start with embracing gratitude

~

Throw away the scorecard

Forget the questions of everyone

Jettison the mask you wear

Look toward and feel the sun
