Because I Live Mr
"Life is a gift that dawn brings."
Because I live,
My mind is not aside from me,
The onus is mine to wield its power,
The duty is mine to stand like a tower.
Because I live,
I'll journey through the day,
I'll go through the maze of my thoughts,
I'll endure the firing of the clay.
Because I live,
I'll look beyond the tempest,
Anticipate the emergence of light,
Persevere in the fight.
Because I live,
I'll pull apart the curtains,
Seek for answers,
Script my story.
Because I live,
I'll strengthen my belief,
Bask in nature’s bloom,
Brighten gloom's room.
