The Song of Life

Check your pulse , and breathe
another day on earth
And your names not on that wreath. 
its all about death and birth.

Tears and laughter, just living the dream.
its your life's and you're favorite song on repeat in your head.

You're names not in the papers yet.
The sun is setting the sky is red. 
Still time to sing one more duet
but not to worry you're not yet dead.

Tears and laughter, dancing to a tune
its You're life and your favorite song on repeat in your head. 

Its all about singing the song
and letting your feet tap along. 
the song of life does not last long
sing it loud and make it sound like birdsong

Tears and laughter, just join in and sing along.

And then the song began to fade 
the last drum beat played
the final serenade
the piper must be paid

the song of life
