From the very moment you take your first breath
There was a clock that started taking time
As minutes, hours, and days pass you by
Life was put into play without the acuity of your body or your mind
Destiny holds all the playing cards
As fate lays out the crimson path at your feet
This future was written for you to ride out
Till you take your last breath and your heart beats its last beat
In your lifetime you will see some joy and also feel some pain
Life plays out before you and feels like it's running in the fast lane
You should be thankful for all you have and thankful for the here and now
For when it does all come to the end ~  just let go gracefully and take your bow
