Take the time to realize
How short our time is here.
Reach for those you know you love,
Embrace.
Don’t fear to show your friends
You’re there for them;
That You will do most anything.
Pick up a hammer
And bend your back;
Greet the day at dawn.
Share a smile with strangers that you see;
Dance with those you love the most;
Take the long way home.
Fill your lungs with air;
Don’t be afraid to sing.
When everything is done in love
Fulfillment can be yours.
Just share what you know best.
We face troubled times,
Walk a road that’s long;
Unbowed,
We raise our voice in song.
