Tell me now, how is it fair?
Our lives are just a gasp of air
That stars barely have a chance to blink
Before into the earth we sink
Why must we race to fall apart
For time to learn what's in our heart
Before our last trip round the sun
When Neptune's still not finished one?
A tragedy, I think so
We leave with so much more to know
Just when we've learnt what it's about
Our lungs are full
We must breathe out.
