Life
Love isn’t love if you don’t fight for it
But pain isn’t pain if you ain’t hurting
Life isn’t life unless you live it
Understand and heed my words
Light isn’t light if it doesn’t blind you
Fear isn’t fear if it doesn’t scare you
A heart isn’t a heart if it doesn’t beat
Understand and heed my words
Stars aren’t stars if they don’t burn
Sores aren’t sores if they don’t bleed
You will understand you will heed my words
Because knowledge is a gift
Imperfection and insecurities
They all bind us together
Love and hate, life and death
That what makes it forever
Only time can ever tell
Tell us to believe
Understand my words
My words you shall heed
Breath isn’t breath without air
Lungs aren’t lungs without breath
A body isn’t a body without organs
And a life isn’t a life without everything in between
Cupid can’t be Cupid without wings
And a duck can’t be a duck without a beak
Your body can’t have posture without a spine
You can’t learn without a brain
Stars aren’t stars if they don’t burn
Sores aren’t sores if they don’t bleed
You will understand you will heed my words
Because knowledge is a gift
Imperfection and insecurities
They all bind us together
Love and hate, life and death
That what makes it forever
Only time can ever tell
Tell us to believe
Understand my words
My words you shall heed
Understand and heed my words
This world you shall believe
