Magic Beans

Adrift and resigned

Through the passing of time

Though it’s easy to whine

“If this was designed

There seems no reason for such struggling.”

When tragedy’s aligning

You gotta keep on shining

Of toeing the line

So, what will you grow, now

From these magic beans…

Prepare, ‘cause you might

Find the stalks are stampeding for the sky

Lifting you higher than ever

You dreamt that you could be
