Some people live life Rest only hide from it Heart on the sleeve Facing the heat Relishing every moment Counting it as a blessing Cought in the downpour Walking through the desert They threw the dice Number that comes up Decides their fate Living life is a blind date Work out any which way Bail out of the date Life still happens anyway Afraid to climb the mountains Standing below wondering about slipping Doesn't change anything Facing the fear lot less painful Than Running away from it Swinging on the pendulum On both ends of the spectrum What happens in between Is the life that's destined Dealt with cards wanting to fold The folded card still gets its due
