Where Are you Now?

Where Are you Now?

Look at you, looking at yourself

No real sickness, perfect health

No reason to be stuck on a shelf

Except a missing sense of self

Who are you? The question flows,

Into your ears and out your nose

Exhaled once, your eyes are closed

Then opened, and looking to and fro

And once more you repeat

Like music from a sheet

The story memorised so neat

To satisfy with words so sweet

You're doing fine, just on a break

Yes, you know what is at stake

You know that you just have to make

An effort, then you will be great

And you could change it all today

You could leap up from your chair,

You could go outside and find the place

That's waiting for you there

Yes you could make a change right now

It's easy, don't you see?

Get up, go on, it's time, it's out

Just climb down from your tree

You once sat on mountains high

Watching life just pass you by

You had no cares, were doing fine

No fear of falling from the sky

But life caught up with you too soon,

And stood you there, outside a room

Within was dark, but in the gloom

You're told it smells of sweet perfume

And though you heard from every side

That there's no need to run, or hide

Your resistance only multiplied

For fear that you'd be trapped inside

Yet nonetheless, the door remained

Unclosed, in case your mind would change

And so you sat there, feeling strained

Neither option called your name

But you could change it all right now

You could get up off the ground,

You could join along with any crowd

I'm sure they'd all be proud
Yes you could make a choice right now

You're absolutely free

The moment's here, no need for doubt

Just climb down from your tree
