Life

Life is like an open book 
we open it up for the world to look 
The past, 
and the present 
is all of life's lessons 

the past is over and laid away 
our present on earth is from day to day 
If life is what we make of it 
it will all begin to make some sense 

Then the choice is up to you 
your life could really be brand new 
or if you want to make it blue 
I guess that's really up to you 

A life to mold 
A life to make 
A life to save 
or A life to take 

As long as the earth shall be 
you will always hold the key 

There's a time to journey on 
so continue to be strong 
and seek ways to travel on 

One day your life will end 
so don't live a life of sin
