Live a Little Before You Leave

I die a little every day I live By the days I'm given chances to achieve Before my chances run out and it's my time to leave Live a little before you leave! I know, living can hurt Living can kick you to the dirt Living has left me burnt And it's not the first, second or third It will keep on reoccurring Really, living is the worst! Think about the years you weren't here before Think about the years you'll have before you're gone Don't think about why you were born Think this is where you belong Think this is your painting to draw Think what can possibly go wrong Don't think, just live along Love, laugh, cry and weep Sing, dance, reach the peaks Screw your pride, be weak Be special, be unique Stay awake, don't sleep A moment, that's all there is Take it, don't be a sheep Fly, spread your wings Reign, be a king Your story now begins Enjoy it with its losses and wins With its virtues and sins Its frowns and grins People and things And Loving
