Life

You're hoping for something That'll bring you around Better than the nothing You've already found Not sure you know this But I've news for you Life is a meadow You go running through Of the world and its promises You've had your fill Don't believe a word that they say And you never will You may taste the sweet freedom And still be deeply in debt But life is a gamble So you best place your bets A cause for relief Always comes into light And you need to let Your little one shine Here's a little something A secret that's kept Life is a pool We all do laps in You brain storm when you can To be let off the hook With the line still attached You'd toss it back if you could You may not believe But take a look at the facts Life is a fast train Rolling on rusty tracks It's mind over matter But what really matters to you Is not what you've done But what you're going through The reason being You're most times out to lunch Life is a menu We order off of It's not a piece of cake But where's your piece of the pie The truth in the knowledge Is hidden deep in the lie Though you try your best There still is regret Life is a fastball Try and catch it if you can

Only thing I know about life, which is definitely not a bowl of cherries, is that without prayer I wouldn't have survived~Che :)
