in the dawn's first light
a shiver of cold
the world's awake and stories yet untold
a state with temperature
this life we know
hot and cold the air and flow
the morning breeze
a gentle touch of chill
as hope begins to stir a heart to fill
our days are like a thermostat's range
emotions sway and nothing stays the same
life I stayed with temperature highs and lows
a changing feature
love can burn like a missed out range
emotions sway and nothing stays the same
the midday sun
a searing heat
dreams are chased with every heartbeat
ambitions rise
a feverish pursuit
in the warmth we find what's true
but then the rain may come a sudden cool
dampening spirits breaking every rule
the temperature drops and doubts seep in
yet life goes on we start again
life a sting with temperature highs and lows
the changing feature
love can be upon me sunny day
and the walls can freeze us in the moonlight we free
we learn to adapt through every degree
the warmth of friendship
a remedy rule
though the cold nights of loneliness we've known
in this state of life
we're never alone
life a state with temperature highs and lows
a changing feature
hope is like a springtime stall and fear
a winter's icy draw
as evening falls
a cozy kind of cold
memories are made
stories are told
the temperature of life
a constant blend of all the feelings from start to
end we face the night with all it's mystery
the warmth within our own history
in the state called life with it's the mold dance
we find our place
take our chance
life a state with temperature highs and lows
a changing feature
there can be a warm guiding light and despair
a numbing coldest night
but through it all we'll persevere in this light
with temperature so clear
