I looked back when I couldn't relate ahead,
And all I said was, 'what a wonderful world...'
No baggage but luggage was all I carried,
Entering in a dark yet bright time never made me worried,
I had a vision and was sure not to sway,
Alone to fight, from my people, I was away,
I was oblivious, all I did was chirp like a bird,
Just to turn back today & say 'what a wonderful world....'
Trivial things gave happiness in life,
With head on shoulders, I was ready to survive,
Enchanted stories and wishing chair was all I knew about,
And I believed in fairy tales without a doubt,
Bubble broke..rosy glasses cracked..life isn't anymore coloured,
So I turn back today to say,'what a wonderful world....'
Life became just like a flickering bulb,
& left a lost sense of what to enjoy and what to curb,
Darkness I found just to walk all alone,
They say you reap just what you've sown,
Blanketed by a starry night, a silence so unheard,
And I turned back to say, 'what a wonderful world....'
Flooded with tears, yet a divine smile hid it all,
Head's high, chin's up, sorrows seem so small,
But they cover the heart & there's no one to feel,
The world around sometimes seem so surreal,
Numbness creeped in, encore said people, how curt!
So I turn back today to say,'what a wonderful world....'
Today when I try to find self, I feel so lost,
Gained a lot, pained a lot, guess I made the most,
But still try to introspect and hunt..Hunt...
Drew boundaries lest people left me all burnt,
So I wore a mask of happiness yet sight was so blurred,
Today I Have to look back to say, 'what a wonderful world....'
