What did you expect from life ?
Don’t tell me - happiness !
Oh boy, stop the world ! - What else !?
Good food, good drink, good friends
Good weather must shine on for you
Could you not expect starvation ?
You could be thirsty and left dying alone

 

How many times did things not turn out the way you’d like ?
What did you expect ?
How do you think that this life will always be so fair ?
Didn’t you know ?

 

What did you expect from life ?
You could have been born ill or become unwell
Could have been born in a war or war could break out
Those things that you cherish, those things that you need
Those precious things that mean so much
Could it all be lost ?
Could you expect your love to die ?
Didn’t you know that life can take your love away ?

 

The only time life isn’t full of pain
Is when you decide to not see it that way

 

Although I can feel pain
I expect so little
Every grace is a gift
Every smile is an extra

 


 

WHAT DiD YOU EXPECT?
