There was a town in a far away place...
a town where no one felt safe..
it gave them the shivers
a place no one delivers
this place... it seems to be a bad case
the folks that walked around town
did so with their heads hanging down
hearts full of gloom, face covered with frowns
its a wonder to find ANY happiness at all in this town
One day a boy looked at the sky...
he yelled "Look guys! Somebody lied!"
the sky is blue! never was it gray!
but no one wanted to listen to what he had to say
they just kept on with their heads down, wrought with fear
hustling and bustling with their busy lives, its no wonder they wouldnt or couldnt hear
but the boy kept trying to get them to look up...
he said Mr.! Mr!.... and before the boy could speak, the old man threw a nickle & yelled good luck!
disapointed, the boy's head drooped down a bit
just a little bit, so much so he didnt even realize it
still determined to find someone else that can see what he saw
the boy furrowed his brows and tightened his jaw....
And walked with purpose, determined to find a way to help the people
feeling stumped, the boy couldnt think of a way to combat this evil
it seems for hours he was racking his brain
"what if i could make it rain"? surely that'll make em look up, he wonders..
"No that wont work they'll just run inside" the little boy continues to ponder
"what can i do to get them to see?
the world we live in is not as it seems"....
finally, the boy came up with a plan!
"I'll make music!" He yelled, "even if its only with pots and pans!"
but music alone wont make them look up...
So once again the little boy found himself stuck....
"hmmm... i know im close to a solution, what can i do?" he says as he rests his chin on his balled up hand in deep thought
"I got it!" as he jumps up and races to the garage remembering a lesson his father taught
The boy excitedly runs to and fro, collecting items he would need for his mission
before heading out the door and grabs one last item... "this will make them listen"
all of the tools together, he sets out to wake up the world...
the first to notice was a little girl...
pointing up, way way up in the air off in the distance.... she yells "look up!"
at first, they couldnt see anything, but they DID hear cups....
"thats strange" an older gentleman said...
as a noisy racket was sounding far off overhead...
the horrible music was gettting louder now....
and you can see the boy in a hot air balloon banging pots pans and CUPS with a huge smile!
"its working!" he said and he starts banging as hard as he can to make the most noise...
looking down at the people... who are now looking up...which fills him with so much joy.
mission accomplished and a tear falls from his eye
he fixed his town, life can be good if we want it to be......
as long as you can see a blue sky
