Grass is always greener

The grass is always greener on the other side of life
inhabitants free from trouble and strife
money is flowing, happiness is rife

They never have to learn by their mistakes
no floods, no cutbacks, no heartaches
every day full of lucky breaks

What do they reach for?
what's eating away at their core?
Do they remember a time before?

I'll stay on this side
success a source of pride
skills have to be employed

How can we get up if we never fall?
We can't answer if no-one calls
you have to fail to grow balls

So today I'm going to be the best me
swimming in a sea of uncertainty
experiencing everything is healthy

Everyday we strive
hope makes us thrive
life's short, no-one survives
