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
