Life Is a Book
Im living a book. So are you.
Tomorrow is a new me. Tomorrow is a new you.
But there is a tomorrow.
Im living a book. Today I turned a page. Or a leaf in a tablet. A leaf
I turned over a new leaf. And let me say "What a relief!"
Life is a book. A very long, very interesting, very confusing book.
Storys you've shouldn't have read, and some that deserve a second look
Dramas, tragedies, harlequins, and poetry,
Biographies, comedies, and even fiction unfortunately
But I enjoy to read and to share the stories
Of all the past failures and glories.
I wake up every day and say "Zack, why are you happy?'
He smiles and responds"Bc Ive been a daddy.
Ive been a friend, an enemie, been loved, been hated
Been turned into an ******* by women Ive dated.
Been turned into Cassanova by women Ive loved
Been kicked, punched, massaged and rubbed
Ive been happy, been sad. Ive laughed and Ive cried.
Ive had loved ones been born. Ive had loved ones that have died.
Ive gone days without sleeping and Ive slept for days
Ive paid for doing "jobs" and Ive had jobs that pays.
Ive been proud of other people and been told I make them proud
Ive lived my life in silence and Ive lived my life aloud.
Ive done a lot of things, theres a lot of things I haven't done.
But the answer to your question Zack is Im happy bc life is fun.
It has its ups and downs, and even some twist and turns
But I love it with a passion. So much, my heart, it burns.
And I know like every great ride it must come to an end.
The author of my book must set down his pen.
And my book will prolly just sit on a shelf collecting dust
bc to be honest, my book is kind of a bust.
But Im breezing right through it with a smile on my face
Flipping through pages like its a speed reading race.
Reading new stories each and every day
Even becoming a character in other peoples' plays'.
But all in all, if you sit and you look
All life really is is one big book.
