Analysis of Moment by Moment



If I don't recognize the happiness in the situation I
Have at hand,
For it, I will soon search outside of this sacred and
Very comfortable land,
Only to gracelessly arrive in the foreign land of
Endless somewhere else's sand,
Each and every time repeating, in different strides,
The same insane self-sabotaging search plan.
All the while undesirably destroying, that which I
Love most, good health and happiness of so many a man.
