*When I look around my life
I feel I'm only scratching the surface
I often throw out the question of 'why'
and wonder if it's really worth it
Aren't we here with a job to do
or maybe that's just what they say
A more positive outlook I'd choose
and find a better purpose to my day
I could climb the highest of mountains
which would mean taking to the streets
helping out those who have lost all hope
giving of myself in their need
I just want to give a part of me
that I have not always been shown
offer all I have within my heart
the best feeling we could ever know
Because life's not all about what you take
but what you have to give
not giving all you have would be a mistake
and really is no way to live*
