Virtual Reality


Everybody likes video games

Wondering when they are going to make it to the next level

Every time they get better and better

Advancing is what they strive for

Wanting to at least complete the level

Knowing if they don't, they'll be stuck until they do

Is it always easy to advance?

Or are you always stuck in the same level?

Wanting to advance but never do

What is it going to take?

Some games have special handbooks

But truly there is only one, and it's life's handbook

Getting you through the worst of your jumps or hops, and finding that secret door

People haven't discovered life's handbook

Knowing they need to advance

And not finding that special door, everybody else seems to be finding

Suddenly feeling all alone

Your character is waiting for you to take them to another place, another level

Where are they going to take me next it's saying

Not knowing yourself makes the feeling mutual

Isn't it nice to know you aren't in this video game alone

Isn't it nice to know there is someone holding your remote control

God looking into the TV moving you where he wants

Sometimes on demo mode

God shows you advancing levels,

To what you haven't seen or heard

God knowing someday you'll get the word

But, starts the game once more to know

He's in control getting you off the floor
