The grass may be greener on the other side....

But you've got roses on your side, so surely yours won't be green....

I wrote this while trying to explain that sometimes when you're not happy with what you have, you get lectures to be happy where you are, so they go something like this:


Sometimes you don't know what you've got is good,
And you always wish things were better,
And while all you need is shelter, clothe and food,
You want more, you want trend setters...

So you'll dream of better things,
And build a plan to fly away,
So in order to get those wings,
You'll sacrifice what you have today...

Now you've made you dream come true,
You're finally where you want to be,
The grass is green, the sky is blue,
And life is good, well, so you see...

Then you look back at where you were,
and realise you miss your home,
But all has change since you were there,
What was once Jerusalem, is now Rome...

And thus you finally see the truth,
That what you had was just as good,
In front of you were all the proof,
But you were blinded, you were fooled...

So now you lie in your new world,
And see what it really is,
All the warmth has now turn cold,
And the past is all that you'll come to miss...

Corny ain't it...haha
