The-Day-You-Begin-To-Live

The day you begin to live
Is the day you start to die
Things you see aren't what you believe
Even the first tear you cry
Is already the thing of the past
The hardest you try
You cant make the day last
The day you take your first breath
Is the day you gasp for air
Trying to figure out whats next
The sound of angels is what you hear
Before you know it you're old
So treat this day as it was your last
Because before you are told
You'll be the thing of the past
God put you through this test
To see if you pass
Soon enough you'll be putting your body to rest
The heart beat you heard it'll be over real fast
The devil will try to take your soul
But to let you see the light
God will make it his goal
To keep it shining bright
The day you begin to live
Is the day you start to die
So live your life like you want
Because getting older will soon be by your side
Soon enough you'll realize you'll see
Your ghostly soul will start to haunt
Here on this earth in person you'll no longer be
