Events precede so swiftly
There’s no need for asking why
You failed to see the turning point
Before you’ve passed it by
You wander through the chaos
And you feel a little lost
Without you even noticing
The Rubicon’s been crossed
And then you wake one morning
And everything has changed
You make a bland assertion
And they act like you’re deranged
You can say that you don’t see it
You can yell, “get off my lawn”
But friends in my opinion
That day has come and gone
And though the world tomorrow
In mists is always hidden
On this grand adventure
U turns are not forbidden
To veer from destinations
You might call both drear and dire
We must make opportunities
To preach beyond the choir
Avoid the mad and militant
Look behind the jaded
Identify acquaintances
You think can be persuaded
You’ve heard the solid arguments
Many here have made them
So go find the persuadable
For pity’s sake persuade them
Up is up and down is down
Not whatever’s trending
Wrong is wrong and right is right
And that’s what needs defending
