Are you always far too busy to see the people in the street?
Too shy or inward thinking to notice others that you meet?
As you walk along with head held down, look up and give a smile.
You’ll surely feel more happy with your head up for a while.
Do you never look about you to see the beauty all around?
Or are you always deep in thought, your eyes pinned to the ground?
Are you blocking out the bird song with an ipod in your ear?
Do you miss the happy faces and the greetings you don’t hear?
If you want true inward happiness, release your spirit from its cage.
Get away from inward thinking and then with others you’ll engage.
Let your life start from the outside, use your eyes and look around.
You’ll surely feel much better if you don’t look at the ground.
