Life - Reprise

The dawn is near
The sun is almost setting  
And darkness, soon be scattered
No matter how you try to stop it, it will come to pass

The colorful world we once knew
No matter how colorful it is
Will soon be gray
And we forget 

Day after day
Will make us feel it’s so fast
And then we hope to go back through time
But the least we can do is to reminisce

Our eyes become dimmed
Skin that are smoothen in time soon be roughen
Our strength shall pass
And then our mind will be willing but the body will not.

Our memory will fade
And the only thing you will remember is today
And those beautiful ones, we kept in are heart
And cherished in our lifetime

Like a candle burned out
And so do we
And as the light is almost through
We turn to our maker

We become lonely and sad
Thinking it is through
But then it is just the beginning
In our Master’s Grace, forever will be laughter
