Analysis of *LOOKING FORWARD*
Rain drops likes tears rolling down
I hear them and it sounds like a clown
It just cant stop letting out its heart
Just like a 400 meter beat
Let it move on as a bat
Let it know it will forever heat
Dont let troubles stand in your way
Your purpose is the inspiration of thousands
Counting minus years you chewed stones
Calculating plus days you swallowed sand
Starting to take all the highs
Feel that was the saviour of tomorrow
When the sales come the takes follow
Forgetting there are prices one ices
Then the sun comes up, you not knowing what to turn
But knowing how it goes from wrong and right
