The Journey

I watched four five year old boys have a heated discussion over scooters Apparently the green one's the best I listened to them argue and I almost had to step in But then one of them spotted a butterfly They saw it and forgot the rest Set aside their differences in pursuit of a glimpse of something beautiful Each picked up a scooter didn't even pay attention to the colors anymore I admire those four Who even cares how you make the journey If you can catch up to the thing that you want? They were so sure that you should try the journey If you see what you want Sometimes I wonder what they would've done if the butterfly had let them catch up Would they have just stared? Or would they have ripped off its wings? I highly doubt it but do they even know what they would've done if they had gotten there? Set aside their differences in pursuit of a glimpse of something beautiful Each picked up a scooter didn't even pay attention to the colors anymore I admire those four Who even cares how you make the journey If you can catch up to the thing you want? They were so sure that you should try the journey If you see what you want No hesitation, no second thoughts Just running on instinct, forgot they fought, two seconds ago Who even cares how you make the journey If you can catch up to the thing that you want? They were so sure that you should try the journey If you see what you want Some things don't seem, to matter quite as much When something bigger and better stops by And lets you see it, just for a second Like that butterfly
