Isn't it funny how life and death always seem to go hand in hand.
From the days you used to go and play in the sand, to the days where death greets you with it's cold dead hands.
For most of use the first time isn't even dealing with you, but someone you love, someone you trust, someone close to you.
But the thing that no one ever talks about is death and life. See when you look at it differently you see it in a whole new light.
The funny thing that no one seems to see is how death fuels life. When someone dies or goes away you take a look at your life in different ways.
The world seems darker for a time or two, and then you remember how they would want you to live for you.
Adventures are had, time is spent, loving, caring, harder than you ever meant.
You do and say things you would normally be scared to say, because now you're afraid that they might go away.
It seems like a negative way to look at it, but find the silver lining and choose to look into it.
Death is an awful reminder that life was always meant to be lived, when someone goes you don't feel the need to just sit.
You want to get up and do and go and see. You want the rest of the world to experience what they didn't get to see.
Some people's lives are cut far too short, the world can sometimes feel like a resort.
A place to go when you're feeling down. It's all fun and games until somebody drowns.
So don't forget that life has given you a choice. You don't have to wait for the worst to happen to start using your voice.
Get up, go out, sing and love, enjoy the time with those that you love. For they won't be around forever here.
Never forget to hold the ones that you love dear.
There will be times of worry, anger, and strife.
Don't let that stop you from living your best life.
Everyone thinks that there is always more time in the world,
But sometimes mother nature sends you for a whirl.
Death and life, it's just part of the game. Don't let your heart fill with disdain.
Use the things that you would normally let you get down, and use them instead to get out of town.
See the world, love harder than you ever thought you could. Heart break and pain will feel better than they ever could.
When death comes knocking at your door, tell him to come back again and bring back more,
More reminders for people to live their best lives,
And maybe after a while no one will really ever die.
Death only comes when you think there's more left to live. Out run the clock and you tell 'em what gives.
There's never a mistake that can't be undone. I've looked for many reasons to not be happy under the sun.
None of them are ever as good as I once thought,
And most of the time my emotions just went "plop".
So death and live will continue to walk hand in hand, you go enjoy your time in the sand.
Let them do whatever they feel they need to,
Don't let them decide what is best for you.
Live, dream, love, create,
And do it all, before it's all too late.
