The Meaning

I dont know the meaning of it 
life
I know the living and the breathing of it
I know if you want to be somebody and go somewhere,
you have to wake up, 
and pay attention
And stand at attention
"ATTTENNNTION!"
One, two, three, four,
education is the door,
Five, six, seven, eight,
Follow through and you'll be great


I would no sooner know the meaning of life as to figuring it out anytime soon
Enjoy myself
Live to tell
Make people feel well 
Take care of yourself
The me in me says that I am lucky
And the you in you should realize you are too
To be apart of something
All be it great or not 
It is
And its life
And your living it
Just do it
And be the you that you want in it all

Love life, live life, live life lovingly
Such is the only way to find it and hold it
I suppose this is my meaning
