Because I Live
Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. -Charles R. Swindoll.
BECAUSE I LIVE
Because I live, I dare to dream,
To chase the stars, to reach their gleam,
To never give up, to always scheme,
To make the impossible a living theme.
Because I live, I won't give in,
To the doubts that hold me within,
To the fears that make my head spin,
To the darkness that tries to win.
Because I live, I'll make a stand,
For what I believe, for what's at hand,
To fight injustice, to heal this land,
To make a difference, to take command.
Because I live, I'll spread my light,
To those in need, in the darkest night,
To bring hope, to make things right,
To make love the guiding light.
Because I live, I'll never forget,
Those who came before, who paid their debt,
Their sacrifice, their courage set,
The foundation for the world we get.
Because I live, I'll leave a mark,
A legacy of love, not just a spark,
A life lived true, not just a lark,
A journey of joy, not just a stark.
Because I live, I dare to be,
Everything I can, everything to see,
To live my truth, and to set it free,
To be the best version of me.
