Let's Live This

Let's take this life 
And live it for living 
Take what we've got
And give what we're given
Let go the end 
Grab hold the beginning
Stand with the few
Take on the many

We'll shower the days
With hope in the making
Lyrical ways
Will be ours for the taking
From the dawn of the early
To the dusk of the lately
No if's and's or but's 
Not even a maybe

We'll hang with the tough
Long overdue
Giving in love
What others may lose
Standing as one 
Up for the truth
In all that is done
In all that we do

Taking this life
And live it for living
Take what we've got
And give what we're given
