"More to This Life"
© 2012 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc
I want to help the those who are searching rise up and believe
That there's more to this life than what they can't see
There's so much focus to live for what's beyond
Let's live for the now, in case we've been conned
We don't need a God to have morals in this life
That's just a myth that fuels division and strife
Maybe there's an afterlife; that could be true
But what if there isn't...in this life, what`d we do?
Let's make this life count, no matter what
Holding to the positive things religion has taught
Love. Do good to those who have hurt us and forgive
Promote peace and kindness as reasons to live
Giving of ourselves, hoping for nothing in return
These are the kinds of things we should aspire to learn
To be an inspiration or to show unconditional love
Are moral values in many of us; it`s not simply from above
Having meaning & purpose in life can still exist
Just open up your mind and fight the thoughts that resist
Look within yourself and find the strength you need
It is there, my friend; just try it and you'll see
Don't be blinded by the views of religion
You can still have peace & joy, but it's your decision
Surround yourself with those who are positive and kind
And the same presence of love & peace will reside in your mind
Time to break the chains that keep you bound
Yes, its time to hear them making a rattling sound
So shake off the guilt! Break free from religious pride
Look with new perspective and see the beauty inside!
Life is Amazing!
