Live Till You Die

You wake up every morning thinking that you'll do it all

Arranging all your problems in a line from short to tall

You'll knock 'em down like dominoes―and as they fall

Life seems perfect, like nothing else could go wrong

But then a tidal wave will come wash away

The things you put in place

And won't return, till it's built up, again some other day

So take, take, take the long road

Or race against the clock

End up either way in the same old place

When the lights have all gone off

So wait, wait, wait for something

Or live, live till you die

Only get one chance to make it work

But it's the path you travel by

So don't despair, when nothing's there'cause something always comes

Time can go, fast or slow it's where you view it from

Just step back, don't hold your breath and realize

Life's not perfect, and learn to deal with surprise
