It differs from you to me What is it? I do not see. Iv been told its clouds of strife periodically pierced by rays of light As if gutted by a knife In a futile attempt to burn away the endless night Another may believes life is rife with misery Gilded in plates of mystery In a subtle attempt to confuse those living day by day Letting the limited time bestowed upon us fade away A man named Norm thought life was a game Played by those who thought the same Money, greed, and a constant need for power Leaves one alone Surrounded by those who's thoughts long turned sour What life is, we'll never truly know If put on this earth by random acts of science A man by the name of Steven thinks so Some think people have and incessant need for compliance Others, a yearning lust for rebellion and defiance The things I know are no secret to you I most certainly believe you already knew Life isn't perfect Life isn't fair Life is most always worth living
