Oh you lucky ones

 

Oh you lucky ones standing in the sun,

Hear us standing in the shadows,

There are worse things than death.

Sometimes life can be incurable

 

Oh you lucky ones drinking from streams,

See us standing in the puddles,

There are worse things than brackish waters.

Sometimes life can poison.

 

Oh you lucky ones singing songs of union,

Hear us wailing in the distance,

There are worse things than loneliness.

Sometimes a lover cuts deep.

 

Oh you lucky ones dreaming of retirement,

See us shuffling towards you,

There are worse things than old age.

Sometimes childhood breaks you.

 

Oh you lucky ones longing to be set free.

See us shackled for unknown offences.

There are worse things than being held.

Sometimes an embrace burns.
