Why Are You Here?

Hey What's going on..

4 Non Blonde: What's up

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?

ooh, ooh ooh
and I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I suddenly take great joy shopping around in the supermarkets buying stuffs I need to bring to camp rather than walking around aimlessly window shopping.

I bought a loaf of bread, 200 grams of picnic ham, 2 cans of drinks, 1 can of tuna, 2 cup noodles, 1 dozen of egg at NTUC Fairprice as I have plenty of time to walk around before buying dinner for myself.

And while I was walking back home after buying all my stuffs and dinner, I saw the middle-aged man in front of me carrying NTUC plastic bags with both hand full of stuff. It suddenly dawned on me we both resembled each other to a certain extent and I shuddered at the thought of walking his path when I am only 21 and he’s already 40+. While I hate others to keep calling me a kid, I also don’t want to grow old so quickly when I have not had all the fun in the world yet.

Hey what’s going on?
