At Any Rate
At any rate it has been said
better alive than dead
For each day is made for living
even if it’s not so giving
It is better to feel pain and move on
for it transcends each and every dawn
Bring on sadness and grief
let misery be brief
Have tears run down your cheek
if it leads to the one you seek
When things are gut wrenching
it’s kind of like a good drenching
Where you may feel all wet inside
as if there is nowhere to hide
In moments when things are dark
reality seems most stark
Contrasting night and day
illuminating another way
For you to see right from wrong
weak from strong
Highs may come and go
but you’re the master of your show
So dry the tears and don’t depress
don your very best dress
For happiness can’t be far away
at least that’s what they say
At any rate…
