We see without looking We eat without tasting We live by surviving Yet not living at all We say without knowing We learn without growing We live by surviving Yet not living at all We step without watching We hope without acting We survive by living Yet not living at all We trust too generously And wonder why we get hurt We lie so easily Yet wonder why we aren’t told the truth We live without appreciating And die wishing we did more We live by surviving Yet not living at all
