THE MISSED CALL

I walked across the hall
looking at the wall
love led me to a fall
It all began with a missed call

She was killing my soul
enjoying my heartbroken howl
Was I performing a joker's role?
Oh! I shouldn't have responded to the missed call

I climbed a tree so tall
tied on the branch a long red shawl
My life is like a blown up ball
Oh! I shouldn't have responded to the missed call.

Flash! From inside I felt a recall
I thought of the days when I was small
Stop...Hail...I jumped down to reach my goal
to live the life that's mine after all
