A Life Lived

Some say life is like a journey,
Some say it’s like a train,
Some say it’s like when you go outside
And all it does is rain

Life is an elevator! A book! A game!
Some say life is lived for fame
Life is a bicycle! A storm! A wave!
Life leads up to an empty grave

I love my life, I live it to the max
I hate my life, it’s full of cracks
Life is a road! Life’s a vacation!
Life’s a flute! Life’s an exclamation!

But your life isn’t the same as mine
I don’t know how yours was designed
Yet I do know this, I’ll tell you in advance
You should go out and live it, while you still have a chance.
