How Long is Forever?

  "... and they lived happily ever after" is just fairy tales

Where people are swallowed then spit out by whales
In real life it starts when the kids go to sleep
And ends the next morning when they rise with a cheep

And sometimes dear parents you get less than this
With kids who won't sleep won't enjoy sleeping bliss
When it comes down to bedtime they can't be cajoled
They'll stay up all night and won't do what they're told

So all through the night well you won't catch a wink
And then in the morning they'll put you on the brink
"Mommy I'm hungry" or "daddy I'm bored"
And this is the real "ever after" reward

The World is Changing

 The World is Changing

There was a time (I have in mind) when things would stay the same
And day to day and year to year no need to go explain
'Cause the rules were still the same you see no different from the past
But nowadays I'm sad to say the world spins oh so fast

So, what was true just yesterday today we must review
Because everything is changing at a speed to fast for you
To know if what we'd known before yes just the other day
On rising in the morning if it's all just gone away

What is good and what is right and how to raise a child
To be a lovely person who will always be so mild
How to know the difference of what is right and what is wrong?
It used to be so simple we could put it in a song

"Tis a gift to be simple" well I don't know 'bout that
You when you live the simple life they take that shirt right from your back.
"Tis a gift to be free" you know it seems to me
Descent is not invited no you must agree with me - And where 'ought we be?'

Cause everything is changing at the speed of light it seems
To horrify your senses and to steal from you your dreams
What is true what is false well I really couldn't say
The one thing that I'm certain of is it'll be different in a day
