The Glue of Our World<br />
Nothing’s quite so clear now,<br />
Nothing’s quite the same.<br />
Time alone does not allow<br />
To keep alight this flame.<br />
I blink an eye, I glance away,<br />
But nothing seems to last.<br />
For when I lead my mind astray,<br />
I realize time has passed.<br />
Gone are the days of running free,<br />
Of doing as we please.<br />
For where we thought our youth would be,<br />
We found old age and fees.<br />
I long for days with so much love,<br />
The cup might overflow.<br />
But nowadays we push and shove,<br />
I’m ashamed we’ve stooped so low.<br />
Something’s very clear now,<br />
There’s something we must do.<br />
We must find our hearts somehow,<br />
For love is our world’s glue.<br />
