The-Day-You-Begin-To-Live

October-2-2000 Trisha M. Barrek Hopkins The day you begin to live Is the day you start to die Things you see aren't what you believe Even the first tear you cry Is already the thing of the past The hardest you try You cant make the day last The day you take your first breath Is the day you gasp for air Trying to figure out whats next The sound of angels is what you hear Before you know it you're old So treat this day as it was your last Because before you are told You'll be the thing of the past God put you through this test To see if you pass Soon enough you'll be putting your body to rest The heart beat you heard it'll be over real fast The devil will try to take your soul But to let you see the light God will make it his goal To keep it shining bright The day you begin to live Is the day you start to die So live your life like you want Because getting older will soon be by your side Soon enough you'll realize you'll see Your ghostly soul will start to haunt Here on this earth in person you'll no longer be Copyright
