Effervescent jewel of the eastern sun
Bubbling concoction of exuberant fun
Where do you go when the day is done
Are you tired of always being on the run
Slipping in and out of hope
Wonder if I’ve given myself too much rope
Enough to hang or just a little slack
Where is the point of no turning back
One day at a time they always say
The future is hazy and filled with gray
Maybe tomorrow the hope will stay
Until then I’ll just have to live for today
