Life

People spend all their life searching for riches and gold
They miss all the mystery that life has to unfold
Take a second longer to say goodbye
You never know when its someone's time to die

Go through each day as if it were your last
Don't worry about everyday struggles as they will pass
Be the best person you can be
To your family and friends, even your enemies

Focus on the life ahead instead of the life behind
Take time in the future to look back and rewind
Learn from your mistakes in the past
Don't let yourself fill the cast

Break the mold...live for you
No matter where life takes us...always remain true
There was a chance for me
And theres a chance for you too
