Crystal Ball

Now we look into the crystal ball

Will we see any of the future at all

Or will it stay cloudy and grey

Not a picture or single thing to say

Maybe we'll see a future warm and bright

Up until that one tragic night

It all crumbles at our feet

Now we're broke living on the street

Or maybe all our goals have been met

Went to the track won a big bet

Easily up on cloud nine

Who ever thought Life could be this fine

Yet friends we really have none

They are here for the money and to have fun

Maybe not so good have we fared

To look at the crystal ball I am a little scared

Not sure if the future should ever be told

Rather be surprised as I grow old

The Crystal Ball is now crushed

Nothing there but a pile of dust.
