Momentum

Momentum

Standing near the corner
we wait for the bus
It arrives
We get on
We are moving
but still waiting
strangers
All waiting
For what?

For something to really move us
convince us
to keep moving
Momentum
Must have it
if you lose it
you'll find yourself
falling out
out of the game
Then what?
Nothing

Momentum
got to have it
Got to keep going
fool
yourself
longer
better
you become wiser
You dream of not fooling yourself
Of seeing what is really going on

Momentum
we go faster
we go farther
we go nowhere
we are where we started
trying hard to convince ourselves
it matters
we must do this
that
love
feel
care
serve
die
yes that's coming too
Momentum

Strangers near a corner
all waiting to die
but moving
moving faster
doing more
doing better
doing everything
dreaming of more
searching for the answer
living until tomorrow
living until the next day
Momentum

Keep it up
don't fall behind
do your best
do your part
get your share
find your place
your niche
your life stretches out before you
what is it all about?
What do you want?
What do you need?
It's what keeps you going
what keeps you from falling apart
from falling out of the game
