Live

Life is a flower that blooms but once From bud to blossom Falling petals to bony seed Then the flower is gone But is remembered by the seed Let your flower blossom Let your perfume spread Don’t break the stem Choose life, why death? Sometimes I guess things just keep going wrong Life becomes a gloomy song Dark clouds and thunder are all you see ‘There can be no hope for me’ You don’t know why you still breathe There is a valley over the hill There is a place where you can be still There can be tomorrow after today Don’t let today make tomorrow too late It’s a choice you make You can have another take Clear the darkness from your head Let yourself walk the road ahead Tomorrow you may have a plan To today’s trouble you may not even give a damn Take courage, hold on to today Troubles come but they also go away Give yourself another day It’s a choice you choose to make You can have another take The sun that is down today will tomorrow rise again Live another day and see its light Why choose death when you can choose life?
