IÆve got a feeling of an afterglow
I am feeling content from the aftermath of an experience
And the second that the sorrow goes
As soon as the pain dissolves
Will breed a new career
Opportunities for growth and success will arise
And I wanna open up my eyes and see
I want to experience life fully
æCos the agony and ecstacy
Because the highs and lows of life
Look all the same from here
Appear equally significant from my current perspective
You donÆt get no view like you do on the top of the world
You will never get a better perspective than when you are at the peak
The top of the world
The highest point of success and happiness
Where the skyÆs so blue and the girls are so beautiful
A place where everything seems perfect and ideal
And times where the heaven is a mile away
There are moments where everything seems out of reach
And itÆs looking like itÆs there to stay
It seems like this feeling will linger for a while
Unlikely to remain
However, this feeling is not permanent or inevitable
And I got a list of things IÆm working on
I have a set of goals and projects
IÆll be working on number one
I will focus on my top priority
I hope you do the same
I encourage others to also prioritize what matters most
