The Meaning of Life
Peace and tranquility fill me inside
Dissolving the walls behind which I hide.
I look to myself because in me I confide
Even though it hurts, it was a beautiful ride.
My emotions with passion begin to soar
They start quietly and change into a roar.
As I start to feel happiness I hope I'll find more
With the keys in my hand I just open the door.
It's the meaning of life that I need to explore.
When I feel hunger I always seek food
When I feel happy I cherish the mood
When I feel sad I try to understand
I find absolution in just being a man.
Everything seem relative as seem to find a meaning
I can discuss how I’m feeling without all the screaming
I begin to see how far I've really come
I no longer feel bad for all that I've done.
I know somehow that today my destiny waits
Tempting me with kindness controlling my fate
I have to remember that it's never too late
You can't run the race without leaving the gate.
