Life's Too Short

Life's too short to spend it as a lion
Go out and carry the banner of peace

Life's too short to spend it as a mole
Go out and enjoy bright light with all

Life's too short to spend it as a hyena
Go out and practice the art of generosity

Life's too short to spend it as a snake
Go out and join battalion of honest men

Life's too short to spend it as a chameleon
Go out and live as a creaturely human being
