We're at the end of the road
We're all soldiers on our own
Tryna find our way back home
And at the end of the day
Nothing matters anyway
Just the love that we have madeSo let's let go of our mistakes
We've all got hearts that easily breakNo matter how the light may fade
We'll carry on, it's how we're raised
We might fall
But we won't break
Yeah, we won't break
No, oh-oh, oh-ohI think we're all just tryin' our best
Wе work so hard, that we forget
How to give oursеlves forgiveness
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm
So let's all hold each other close
'Cause there's so much we can't control
But we don't have to feel aloneSo let's be bold and let's be brave
Let's take a minute to bow and prayNo matter how the light may fade
We'll carry on, it's how we're raised
Yeah, we might fall
But we won't break
Yeah, we won't break
No, oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, we won't break
No, we won't break
No wayAfter all, came the sun
And now our hearts will beat as one
We made it through, then came the sun
And now our hearts will beat, now they'll beat as one
We made it through, and after all, came the sun
And now our hearts will beat, now our hearts will beat as one

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet. I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away. Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things. As soon as you'll realize it was a gift, you'll be free. Death is peaceful. Easy. Life is hard. 

"You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times, and we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry , thinking, "What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in 10 years?" But I say to you, "Hey, look at me!" Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day... make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular." ~ Robin Williams as Jack Powell
