Life's Expectancy

Life, full of one's expectations 
Edge to which one thrives survival 
In our minds, we are taught mortality 
A way of life, sense into the beyond journey 
Path to which desire rules emotions 
To love another, goal of dream's reality 
We all expect to live right old age 
Many dying even early days we shovel dirt 
Our life's expectancy, the riches to heaven 

The greed of man's soul to conquer 
His heart as wicked as the words he speak 
As a child it all looks wonderfully enchanted 
Price we pay cause we wanted to grow up 
Be like others, live wild and free 

We always hold a standard amongst ourselves 
A way of being, doing things right way 
So why do we detour our agenda to growth 
That even in ourselves we kill the spirit 
That to which give breath you turn evil 
Society forsaken all belief to birth 
Is it us we wake or impersonation we follow 
Not so much our role model we walk 
But time's past, history foresee before time 
Life's expectancy, only death be certain
