Terribly Beautiful

How terribly beautiful is life
How terrible fate can be
How beautiful love can be
How terribly beautiful life can be

I’ve seen how terrible life can be
And how beautiful love can be
If  I isolated myself from love
Is my life terrible?

I’ve seen how beautiful destiny can be
And how terrible fate can be
If  I isolate myself from fate
Is my destiny beautiful?

I believe so 
And yet I don’t believe so
For love can be beautiful and terrible
Fate also can be terrible and beautiful
So what path is a good path?
No one can live without a heart
And no one can live without a fate
So who can there be a beautiful live?
Without Love
Or without fate
A beautiful life
Is a terribly beautiful life
