life can seem meaningless when you have nothing to give
no poetry, no music, no passionate art
it's one thing to be alive, it is another to live
write out your ideas, your passions in a missive
pour out your soul into your loved ones' hearts
life can seem meaningless when you have nothing to give
craft stories and tales of wonderful fictive
use your talents so no one can thwart
it's one thing to be alive, it is another to live
create glamorous music, whatever the motive
allow it to completely tear your mind apart
life can seem meaningless when you have nothing to give
smear your ideas across a canvas, hold the sky captive
tear down your mind's crumbling rampart
it's one thing to be alive, it is another to live
let the earth fuel you, let its beauty be addictive
humans are meant to feel emotions, both sweet and tart
life can seem meaningless when you have nothing to give
it's one thing to be alive, it is another to live
