SNOWFLAKES
As snowflakes cover the ground
And the color white is all around
You stare out your window looking down
Thinking that everyone must pay a price
While wondering to yourself
Whether you’ll bounce once or you’ll bounce twice
This time that you spend has only been leased
Just as the clock on your wall is not really your own
And as you measure importance from greatest to least
You count up all the people and find that you’re alone
Just when you really needed some fresh air
You found that there was no breeze
Well you only look down
As you cross the bridge
And the light goes off
When you open the fridge
When Christmas time comes
Other people open your gifts
And the iceberg you’re chained to
It never seems to drift
If you were at the beach
Then the sun would hide
When the bus would come
It wouldn’t give you a ride
You can either think of your life
And all of the pain you’ve felt
Or you can sit and watch the snowflakes
Until they all melt
