The End
If somebody told you
This is the end
And if you knew those words to be true
Would you do things different
Would you be kind to your neighbor
Call up your friends
Set a meet and greet with your enemies
To make amends
Would your main focus
Be on that last breath of life
Or would it go unnoticed
With the fact that you're dying
Would you marvel at all
The mess of debt you collect
All the now worthless stuff
That fills your life and your head
You can't take it with you
Is what they always say
So why is our grip so tight on it
All the way to the grave
If you were told that the end
Was one heartbeat away
What would that truth do to you
And would you even change
