The sooner the better

The sooner the better 
I hear folks say they are depressed 
I see youth down and sad so young 
So I wonder how life could be tough 
Even in a free land 
Life is still expensive to survive 
There is nothing to lose brother 
This is nothing to gain sister 
Just live your life 
Life can’t be so easy 
when you chose to live 
There is always a natural test of time 
Understand my friend that all days are never the same 
Some days you can wake up so low energetic 
Is fine pass through it 
It doesn’t define weakness 
The only trouble is when you fail to live 
So rise and be alive cos 
The sooner the better 





The sooner the better 
Don’t die young my friend 
Your life is precious to the world 
Nothing last for ever brother 
Not even your worst moment sister
So pay attention to the positive vibes 
Connect to a better mood 
It will bring you a better time 
You can’t be in dark with the sun 
There is no shadow in darkness 
So don’t die young my brother 
Live to live again 
Nothing last for ever my friends 
Not even this worries and sadness 
Not even this depressed moment 
This is always a natural test of time
Just pass through it cos 
It will pay for a new better time to come 
I tell you no lie brother 
There is no shadow in darkness 
So get up and live cos 
The sooner the better
