This thing called life
Crazy thing that it is
Amazing the places it can take you,
and the opportunities it leads to
“No one ever said life’s perfect” they say,
And sure enough there are plenty of twists and turns along the way
Pain so incredible it’s inevitable
You’ll experience heartbreak, loss and change in every sense, leaving you in intense dismay
You’ll strive to be a better person then you were yesterday
To live out your dreams and start a family because that’s the American way
You’ll search for happiness in every aspect
But true joy comes from within ourselves though most seem to neglect
Some seem to forget
You can’t look to other people to be the man or woman YOU are meant to be then get upset
We’re all searching for that one thing that defines us in retrospect
Maybe we look at this thing called life all wrong
The never ending cycle of growth is only meant to make us strong
While we search for who we are, we constantly evolve
Each experience like the piece to a puzzle we struggle to solve
But life is filled with millions of pieces we may never absolve
Everyone has a story, a past and a present that defines who they are
Although we can’t always control what transpires we have the power to set the bar
Sky was the limit until man walked on the moon
Walk to the beat of your own drum and eventually you’ll discover the rhythm to your own tune.
