Living Zen Life

Letting go the world I knew
hardest letting go of all
world spinning fast
falling farther farther behind 

I must forgive those 
for whom the world is young
knowing a day will come
when their world will spin away

it's always been this way
we make the world our own
young take it in their hands
we are left holding memories

I wish and pray them well
ones I do not know
I was once as they are now
my dreams have drifted to the stars

heaven take us all to herself
mother comforting her children
tears wrapped in her arms
loo-li, loo-li lai lay, loo-li lai lay.
