Everybody Dies

Our destiny will follow us
Everywhere we turn
Life's lessons are often painful
But yet, we have to learn

Experience is taught from many years
Of trials and tribulation
The good times and the bad
Heartaches and jubilation

We can't know where we're going 
If we don't know where we've been
Or how will we ever finish 
If we don't know where to begin

We worry about tomorrow
While today, just passes us by
We'll never know the answers
For we're no longer, asking why

The world we know is falling apart
Right in front of our eyes
We have to make some changes
Quickly, before everybody dies
