Live To Be Timeless
They say that life is short
With different lengths for everyone
Some are gone before they start living
And some before they are done
Some live for the day, Some live for the month
Some live to be timeless, and second to none
With a path on each side
Motionless at a crossroads
Not knowing which step
Would lessen the load
Do it tomorrow
Leave it til later
Put it off for now
The stalling gets greater
How can I live
Without having regret
And be content
On the day I meet death
Tomorrows troubles
Still far away
Takes away my happiness
And my smiles for today
Some live for the day, Some live for the month
Some live to be timeless, and second to none
Plans that are large
The height of one's dreams
Could distance you from the now
Then the now can't be seen
The night follows the day
As the day follows the night
Try and live in each
Of the moments in sight
I may be taken tomorrow
My life could disappear
Not afraid of tomorrow
I'll handle it when it's here
But today I'm alive
And I've overcome my fears
And I'll continue to seize each moment
Every day of all my years
Some live for the day, Some live for the month
Some live to be timeless, and second to none
