I should be running in the sunshine
   Instead I'm still in my bed
I should be climbing in the mountains
   Instead I'm bound to my chair

I should be thinking and solving
   But I'm lost in a daze
I should be laughing and dancing
   But I'm filled with despair

   The sky is dark, starless
   Wait!
In the east the first flickerings and soon

I will be running in the sunshine!
