Be Alive
Oh this journey of a thousand years
Breaths of struggles and breaths of fears
Tears of sorrows and tears of happiness
Smiles of goodbyes and smiles of hellos
We ran, we walked and we crawled
Look around and look back
You and I have come so far
Farther than all the glittering stars
So don’t be jealous and weary no more
You’ve done your part; you have made it this far
Hold your breath for one more time
And come with me to leap through this paradox
To sail across the gravity of time
To love, smile and be alive.
