The Last Song

What do we know
You get born then you die
Wonder how
Wonder why
Might get mean and try to
Control with belief and pride
But you can't control
What goes on in life
It's turns out how you see it
Makes all the difference
How you start and how you finish

There's not a lot you can really change
Not a way to win this game
It's a participant ribbon at best
You along with the rest
On a quick train to death

But what of life and love
Belief in a God above
Belief in a world below
Which one, where is it we're gonna go
Or maybe noplace but the dark to see
When we finally get to leave

And what of love
What is it what does it mean
It's concern for the greatest good of another
Making sure the best to offer
That's love, acting in the best light
For doing what's right
For anyone, everyone you chance to meet
Man, Love just can't be beat

I wish I had all the time that I need
To fix the world find the rhyme
To go with the truth
Redeem the time before the bell tolls
