C'Est La Vie

We take for granted this mystical life,
full of surprises and razor sharp strife.
Sometimes the profit is worth the lost sleep,
yet when selling out our lives seem so cheap.

Our time here is short gone before we know,
thinking we have time before were laid low.
There's one way for sure to know we've done well,
to avoid that train that leads straight to hell.

Let us see others in a caring light,
and give them our help and do what is right.
before we know it the end comes so fast,
with no more future and only the past.

Then we'll understand come the last mile,
when our friends greet us and all with a smile!
