The Power of Life

The Power of life
The choices we make
Dull like a knife
Yet chances we take
 
The wind can blow
The flowers can grow
Everytime we try
The power of life- begins to show
 
A gasp for air
A simple I dont care'
Why bother'
The Power Of Life- what can compare
 
Granted we take it
Appreciation we dont show
Reckless we become
The Power Of Life- Do I know?
Gifts we receive
Love we are taught
Ignorance wins
The Power Of Life- Lives beneath ones skin
 
The food we receive  The people we meet
Does everyone ignore
The Power Of Life- Wide open doors
 
Think back to high school
The ones you made fun of
Now look at college
The Power Of Life- The knowledge
 
Disregard you memories
But the past still remains
Your heart may be pure
The Power Of Life- Are you really secure
 
If money grew on trees
And happiness was printed
Many Counterfeits we would make
The Power Of Live- For granted we take it
 
Everyone messes up
Everyone makes fun of someone
Its not what happened, its what we can change
The Power Of Life-  No two days are the same
 
Why live to regret
Its like Regretting to live
Life can be special if you make it
The Power Of Life-  Learn to commit
 
Although The Power Of Life
Has choices
The Power Of Life 
Has Voices
 
The more you listen
The less you hear
The more things glisten
The less you fear
 
The Power Of Life
Is all about opportunity
Chances we make 
To better a community
 
Promise a change
Not for anyone but you
And a Promise in exchange
Is always the truth
 
Take this as you read
Laugh like theres a robber with a butter knife
Dont say I didnt try and tell you
The Power Of Life
