Its Really the Little Things that Matter the Most

There's something that lies
within a few syllables
Fame
sweat and pain
and mysterious ways
building my cloud
i wanna go higher than that tree
that taught me to climb
i wanna go higher than that building
that taught me to climb
i wanna go higher than that aeroplane
that taught me fly

but i forgot something

its so easy
to fall
down

No matter how much we achieve (and I don't mean to be pessimistic) there's something way ahead.

If only we knew how broad our spectrum can go, we'd stop being so arrogant
