[Verse 1] The shortest joys are the best of all / Beyond the city’s sprawl / In the fields or by the tall / Towers where we rise or fall / On this longest day of the year / Time’s a dance, it’s crystal clear / Everyone’s got their share of strife / Rich or poor, that’s life [Chorus] Some get rich, some lose it all / Some find paths, some hit a wall / Makes you think, makes you see / What really matters to you and me / Some don’t care, they’re never swayed / People split, not engaged / All is numb, we just chase pay / We’re material to the grave [Verse 2] In this life, we play our parts / Family, health close to the heart / No comedy, just pure truth / I’ve faced my tragedies, but compared to youth / In distant lands, it’s not the same / Different lives, different game [Outro] On this longest day, reflect and see / What we value, who we’ll be / Savor moments, let them stay / Carry us through the shortest day
