DELICATE TIMES

These are delicate times, they can see all our thoughts,
And that’s just what they’re after, to snuff out the laughter,
Well, isn’t it good that it’s out in the open,
Gaping and broken for all to see?

These are dangerous days, the clock’s ticking faster,
And knowledge is burning too fast for learning,
Well isn’t it good that that we quicken our pace,
Keep up with the race to know we’re alive,

And far from me to say I’m anyone,
It’s all so vague, it’s all so here-and-gone,
But maybe, if you lend a hand,
I’ll give you mine,

These are dangerous times, I don’t know what to do,
If to sit around waiting, or try participating,
Well, isn’t it good just to go with the flow,
Use what we know and hope for the best?

Far from me to say I’m anyone,
It’s all so vague, it’s all so here and gone,
But maybe if you lend a hand, I’ll give you mine,
I’ll give you mine

There are sumptuous moments, I don’t know if they’re real,
They’re as transient as memories, fleeting as dreams,
Well, isn’t it good that it’s so hard to clasp,
When it’s out of our grasp, that’s when it’s free.
