The world oh so bright in my eyes
Now seems to be so grey

I'm still not sure
What turn of events
Caused my world's color
To slowly but surely fade away

It's funny how one moment
Everything can be going your way
Then all of a sudden a storm starts brewing
And when lightning strikes nothings ever the same

Amusing isn't it?
How one moment you could be flying sky high
Then the next moment
You're on your face on the ground

Isn't it funny how everything around you
Even your heart can fall apart
And never even make a sound?

The realization never dawned on me
Until the color from my world disappeared
That one or two happy moments
In this life is all some are spared

This realization in itself
Has prepared me
For the next time lightning strikes

So next time I'll be ready
For whatever challenge is thrown at me by this life
