Not for the next day
Live to make the most of your lives
Please tell me you do not live to get pay
Just to turn around and give it away
Spending  all your time on the freeway
On your cell phones
Just to keep up with the people named  Jones
or
Keeping yourself in debt with all your loans
Who says you can't throw stones
At the end of your day sharing nothing
but your moans and groans
Making excuses of why it's all worth it  
Your salary is worth more then the reality ?

"Gee"!

Go on a big spending spree !!
Go ahead buy one more pair of Ray-bans
Show everyone that you can '
Work really hard for that pension plan
That sure will make you better than
You call that a life's plan?
Your master plan?
Jumped right into that frying pan

Live
to
Live

You have been given is you
There is beauty in you
Can you see it
Do you believe it
Do you know it
There are no dues for it
Nothing you have to do for it
Believe, it is true
I hope you knew it
If not, now you know it
So it is time for you to  love you
And to you
You need to be true
If you believe it, there is nothing
you cannot get through
And nothing you cannot do
or pursue


The greatest gift given to you
is you
!!

I have experienced it in so many different places
I have been broke into a  million pieces
My trust decreases
When the pain slowly increases
When it grabs hold it never releases  
Hanging on until it ceases

I thought my heart was made of gold
Then why want it let the pain go
The pain  
Took it's golden glow
Hidden by the pains shadows  
It happened a very long time ago
Something pain bestows

Pain
It overflows
It is so **** strong
and it is hard to overthrow
Sad to say
It will still be with me
the day after tomorrow

Pain
I will continue to fight through it
Until I get strong enough
To say "O.K"
Enough is a enough
And I get my life back
the way it was before

And my heart is restored
to
Gold

Does not stand still
People think  it's not a big deal
Just something measured by a clock
Tic-Tock
  
No matter what you do it cannot be blocked
It never stops
and cannot be stopped
It will never halt
It has never been seen
Embedded into our genes
It's presence we should be aware
It lingers in the air  
You know it's there
It has such importance
Then why is it so distorted

In a flash of  light
it is night
Before you know it
we are grown
Then the questions
How much of it was blown?
How much of it did I spend on the phone ?
Why did I spend so much of it alone ?
Did I spend enough of it with my own ?

Then we go to our grave
Where there will be no more
Time
and
None remains
!!

When you give up on everyone of your dreams
Letting them go
How will you  know
How would you have known
Can I ask, how do you think you are going to grow
If you let them go
Then you start wondering
And
You start  pondering
About your direction
And
You have no connection

With out them  
The mountains will not move for you

With out them
You will ask what will  tomorrow  bring
Could I  have been a King
Could I  have been a Queen
In your dreams you could have seen

With out them
You are settling for less
You start to guess
Your dreams why would you ever suppress

Believe in your
Dreams
!!

I am
Sometimes just because

With no pause
Sometimes caused by my flaws

From what was
Sometimes from me breaking the human laws

From what I have done
Sometimes  because I had to run

  From what I have caused
Sometimes from what cannot  be undone

Of how I treated someone
Sometimes from how I treated everyone

From how I treated my loved ones
Sometimes from how I let everyone down

From me acting like a clown
Sometimes from me being a letdown

Of  how I just shutdown
Sometimes from not staying around  

Because of the people I have blamed
Sometimes from the people that I have shamed

Ashamed
No more
From what I have  done
Because no more will it be done
