so passive letting life just pass him by
he sits, does not attempt to make a move
no life will recollect in his mind's eye
because he'll never move or even try
even in trying times he will just prove
so passive letting life just pass him by
and in his settled seat his heart will fry
her heart to strangers love will not behoove
no life will recollect in his mind's eye
yet certainly his other eyes will cry
and in his crying he will find his groove
so passive letting life just pass him by
yet active will be his continued sigh
he's loved and lost for others don't approve
no life will recollect in his mind's eye
his tears will only stop when bones turn dry
or when his life's poor lot he disapproves
so passive letting life just pass him by
no life will recollect in his mind's eye
