There are as many reasons to stay alive
As there are ways for one to give up and die
So, it would be senseless not to go and try
To not let this wonderful day pass you by

One of them is because we're here
Trying our best with smiles and cheer
To make the meaning of living clear
And wipe away your nonexistent fear  

But you refuse to hear our desperate pleas
While brushing us by with practiced ease
Boy, all we want is for you to be pleased
And not have you fall in shame to your knees

It hurts to watch you wallow in pain
While questioning whether you are still sane
Girl, we can swear death offers no gain
Other than to experience an existence in vain

Life is the ultimate gift that's granted
To every single animal and tree that's planted
So, it's only right for God's children to be enchanted
With a split mind caught between straight and slanted

Whether you're happy or sad
Whether you're a son or a dad
A child that's good or one that's bad
You were born with permission to forever be glad

Boys and girls we beg you so
To hold on tight and not let go
It's unbearably hard, this we know
But carry on and your spirit will glow
