Live
Live
A longing, a wishing
A yearning, a dream
A fear, a frustration
Tribulation, it would seem
This longing, this wishing
This yearning, this dream
Will make you courageous
It builds self-esteem
This fear, this frustration
Everything that is tough
Will test what you’re made of
When push comes to shove
Feel the pulse of life beating
It may quicken, even race
But it soon will lose its rhythm
If you have no goal to chase
Your fears should be confronted
Frustrations should be curbed
Be mad, be disappointed too
But do not remain disturbed
Keep wishing and keep dreaming
Chase all worries off the cliff
And let no stumble keep you down
Get right back up and live!
