CAN'T WE JUST ENJOY THE RIDE?...

Oh, the universe is a great big place
Made of galaxies framed in time and space
And the more I stare, the more I'm aware
Of just how small we really are.

So why don't we try to just enjoy the ride
Can't we find the tender child inside
An' just enjoy the ride?
Can't we just enjoy the ride?

At times I sit at night beneath the stars alone
Wondering who we are, why we're here, and where we're goin'
And as meteors streak across the sky
The awesome beauty can make me cry

So why can't we try to just enjoy the ride
Can't we find the simple child inside
And just enjoy the ride?
Can't we just enjoy the ride?

Oh, why do we do the crazy things we do?
As we hurt each other constantly
We miss out on the opportunity
To just enjoy the ride

Why can't we just sit back and enjoy the ride?
Why can't we enjoy the ride?
Can't we just enjoy the ride?

This is a rather simple but relevant song that I wrote awhile ago. In itself it is not long enough (lyrically) to meet the minimum requirement at Helium.com for an article or song, but I thought it was worthy of inclusion so I've added this explanatory note to bring it up to conformity. Besides, some of the world's most recognizable and beloved songs are not terribly verbose so I didn't think this would be a problem. Enjoy!
