More To This Life

VIEW VIDEO SLIDE SHOW HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9G1EEVhOkE "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! __________________________________________________________ My WEB SITE / MY STORY: http://fromchristianitytofreethought.webs.com/ __________________________________________________________

I love the last line "Life is amazing" because this is a beautiful life we live and we need to think of our fellow men and women, how we treat each other and our Earth.
