What is a life?

Is it a breeze gently brushing against your face?

Is it a heart in which you feel pain,

Just what is a life?

These memories of my past, feel distant, faint

in this moment, a sudden feeling overtakes

Your questions, processing inside of your brain.

Just what is a life?

Tell me will I ever know the feeling of fate, faith?

What answers lay beyond the stars, 

What answers lay dormant
Inside of this tormented mind

Just what is a life?

Is it a spray from the sea
hitting your skin

These drops upon my skin, glisten in the sun

Just what is a life?
Is it a happy moment in which, I can’t help but smile,

Haven’t felt that kind of emotion in a while.

Is this life the laughter of a child,

What kind of wonder and bewilderment
Does this life hold in store?

Keep thinking all these thoughts

And you’ll want to know more.

Just what is a life?
