Scratch your knuckle on a rusted nail
and suddenly, you’re going to die.
Never go out in the thick or the night
or else you may not survive.
Don’t ever trust other cars on the road.
You’ll end up in a wreck.
Don’t tell your secrets to someone you know
or they’ll stab you in the back.
All that’s gone wrong can only mean
the future isn’t bright.
Too many mistakes were caught.
Now nothing you do is right.
Don’t trust online.
Don’t look at your neighbor.
We hear it far and near.
This world likes to say
Until the end of days
All is to be feared.
To live in fear
Is to live in regret
You miss out on hope and wonder
Dare to believe
Dare to have faith
And shake the world like thunder.
