the oppressor's law
muzzles a dissenting voice
lest it speak of truth
the greatest victory
for mankind will be the day
when world peace prevail
murderous war fiends
pleasure in lethal pursuits
they know not of pity

I am who I am
and that is all that I'll achieve
I failed trying to be Sam
and couldn't quite be Steve

I almost made it being John
but then it got too much
and when I decided to be Ron
I felt being out of touch

so I resigned just to be me
at least I feel at ease
and all day long I can be free
that even Sam agrees
A world without time is the same as a world devoid of conscious beings.

Everyday is a precious gift
The greatest present we call life
Worth more than gold that you can lift
Better than any from your wife

A gift that is filled with surprises
with many truths and sometimes lies
From the first moment the sun rises
Right up until you close your eyes

But when tomorrow comes around
Something for you will be waiting
and another great gift will be found
because each day's worth celebrating
