If this is the life we must live

Than let us live it to the fullest

If this is the life we've been dealt with

Than let us embrace it

Mistakes are made

But there's forgiveness

Learn from them

We grow

Wisdom is earned

Viewing our life

As if looking at it from

Someone else's perspective

Should help us see

The road we're on

Good or bad

Justice, injustice

Heartache, healing

Trusting, believing

If this is the life we must live

Than let us give our best

Tomorrow is just a guess

For the rest is a mystery

Shrouded in secrecy

If this is the life we've been dealt with,

Ask no questions

Answers are vague

Eludes us at every turn

Search your inner self

Mediate on the good in you

Let no one tell you

You are a failure

Believe in the gift

That is you

Tell the world to f***k off

If all they see is the negative

Blocking their vision to

See the positive

Live for no one

But live to be free

Keep the door to the cage

Always open

Throw away the key

It holds no love

Only wants to

Keep you from learning about yourself

If this is the life we are to live

If this is the life we're dealt

Make no excuses

Accept shortcomings

Own up to your mistakes

Learn and grow

Grow and become
