Borrowed Life

With each breath, I feel the weight Of borrowed time, a silent debt To those who've passed, without a trace To all that's gone and that's yet to face We come and go, in waves of grace And we, the living, hold the space For all who've lived and all who'll come As we dance in the light and we beat the drum Our hearts beat on, through pain and joy Through fear and hope, through doubt and faith As we step into the unknown We face the truth that we are not alone We live and love with all our might For one day, we must leave this world behind And when we're gone, let us leave behind A legacy of love, of hope and of light.
