I look to the sky

     And ask why

          Why can’t I touch the sky?

     But a book told me I can

If I close my eyes

     And aim a little high.

Again I look to the sky

     And dreamt about sleep.

          Will I ever sleep again?

     If I count a thousand sheep

These dreams I should keep.

     While the rest of them sleep

          I can’t help but think

     About the depths to which I sink.

Wouldn’t it be fun

       To kiss the sun.

          Just once?

     Asked the dunce.

Try a little harder

     When the sun comes back around

         Said the clown.

     If you turn that frown

Upside down.

     You will find what it is you seek

If you follow

     In the footsteps of tomorrow.

You will find what you found

     The last time around.
