Life - or Something Like It :)



Have you ever wished that you lived forever ...
Have you ever wished that you died never ...

What if life could go on and on ...
Just like your never-ending favorite song...

Is this what'll make you really happy ?
Is this what you've been waiting for ?

Take a while ... think some more...
And then imagine the rocks on a shore.

They've been there forever.
Just like the twinkling stars in the dark night sky.
The rocks never die.
They are born,
and hence, then live on...

Washed to the shore by the rumbling sea,
Its on the shore, where they'll always be.

They never play.
They never talk.
They don't run around.
They don't even walk.

Lifeless creatures... with an endless life.
Waiting to live... waiting to die.

Is this what'll make you really happy ?
Is this what you've been waiting for ?

Take a while... think some more

The beauty of life...
Lies in dying.
Though you may leave...
a lot of people behind you crying.

This is life.
You are born to die.
Play your part.
And off you fly.

To another world...
In some other life...
Meeting new people...
Leading a new... Life.
