To Live Would Be An Adventure
We spend our time sheltered, shaded by the Elm
And too many of us let our lives pass us by
With a ruthless rogue ruling the dreamboat helm
Sparkling ship sailing across the summer sky
We're like a swordfish swimming against the tide
Should we turn against our dreams? This I can not abide
Sharks nipping at our fragile fins, fatigue will overwhelm
We harbor our feelings when we should let them fly
Imagine ourselves in an eternal oasis, our heart's realm
For to live would be the real adventure, not to die

RIP Robin Williams, Nanu Nanu
