In the early morning, right before dawn.
Today approaches, yesterday is gone.
Our legacy left, be mindful of time.
Make the most of your life, let the sun shine.

Treat each day as if it could be your last.
Your future will one day become your past.
Plant your seed, water it, and watch it grow.
Your future now comes, please stay in the know.

Educate and live, pass on and pardon.
Put forward your best and tend your garden.
Maintain and deliver, watch your brother.
Remember God's son, love one another.

Take care of your sails and keep your mast strong.
We will weather this storm, we do belong.
My thoughts on life.

Mankind has now entered a new chapter of life.
Unprecedented circumstances, brings forth newfound strife.
Your conduct and demeanor are controlled by only you.
Don't let fear of the unknown control what you do.

Educate and prepare, protect yourself and your kin.
We will get through this, remember where we've been.
I wish you the best, I pray for each one of you.
This is just a break from the norm, we will get through.

The darkness is gone, not even the light can take hold.
I'm trapped in the void, no more love to behold.
There is nowhere I belong, a lonely broken heart.
I've been cast out by the light and expelled from the dark.

I have nowhere to run and no chance of flight.
My sentence will run, with no end in sight.
I'm surrounded by life, muscle and bone.
Can anybody see me? Am I here all alone?

I have nothing left, I now circle the drain.
My walls have been built, each brick laid with pain.
There are plenty of others, who know how I feel.
It's all in my head, but the struggle is real.

Why am I punished, for some other's sin?
I long for the day, when the light comes back in.
In the void I am numb, no harm can come here.
But the dark and the light, are both very near.
My life with depression.

Imagine your life's desires, what exactly chases your tail?
What motivates your morning, what's behind that blinding veil?
Is it simply robotics, or maybe love for family or a friend?
Could it be a house or car, or making more money to spend?

We all employ free will, there is no accounting for what others may think.
Perhaps you feel manly in flannel, or maybe pretty in pink.
Take pride in who you are, and in everything you do.
How you choose to live your life, well, it's really up to you.

You might be rock or country, you could be straight or gay.
You might have many more years to come, or it could all end today.
Go out and strike your spark, see all that you can see.
Continually accept the challenge, be all that you can be.

We all possess dreams, that we aspire to achieve.
Treat all with respect, no matter what you believe.
Achievements can bring arrogance, failure can humble.
Support your brothers and sisters, pick them up when they stumble.

Despite talent or beliefs, we all have the same goal.
Attain knowledge from life, engage and enroll.
We are all here together, embrace and show love.
We can all help each other, like Noah and his dove.

There has been some damage done, but together we can fix.
We can spread some love around, before we're under by six.
Our world is laden with partners, take some clock and unite in dance.
Promote and construct, go out and give it a chance.
