Through our life, we are the same
We face the fear of love and pain
We carry guilt of hate and shame
With nobody there for us to blame
We wonder through this unknown land
With no one there to take our hand
But hope someone is out there
Who cares enough to understand
If you look how long we are on this earth
Until your time ends and right from birth
It’s not the length of time you’re here
Not even what you’ve done
It’s the length of time that you have left
So you can carry on
Living your life as you were meant to do
Having your family and loving them too
Life is too precious to let moments go by
Why should we sit and just wait to die
Grab your dreams and hold them tight
Don’t let them drift off away in the night
Life is for living,you only live once
