LYRIC FOR SALE

By Georges Dwailibi

Put yourself inside a train
Lengthen your feet and forget your strain
Open your eyes and project yourself
Don’t close them you may miss a scene and you won’t see it again
Some of your friends are walking, others are playing
You want the train to slow down to go to play
But it won’t obey
So you decided to draw a portray of every scene
Remember all these cartoons
That you can retrieve piece after piece
Put yourself inside a train
Lengthen your feet and forget your strain
While you were drawing
Your hand moved slower or quicker
Slower when you are restoring a bad piece
That you don’t rush to revive again with bitter
But you want to draw it cause your are brave
Then you started the joyful pieces of your life
The pencil moved smoothly and quickly
To bring you the scene on time
Your pencil is your closest ally
Who knows exactly what you want to describe
Put yourself inside a train
Lengthen your feet and forget your strain
The train started to slow
It might finished its journey
Was it the last stop ? no, not at all !
It’s like a medley
Your drawings will never reach their end
But the train will continue its way
To reach what ?
Nobody knows
You should ask your dreams about that
Yes you should ask your dreams about that
