Don't Let Dying Kill
You
The rest of your life is whatever remains
To both you and I, today is the same
You are here right now to think, talk and play
Don't let the loss of tomorrow destroy any part of today
One day, one week, one year, maybe five
We scratch and scrape to stay alive
Breathe one more breath, see one more day
Have one more night to sleep away
One day, one week, one year, maybe five
Forever was never for you and I
Don't let tomorrow ruin today
Enjoy the moment, come what may
To live is the secret of learning to die
Take a larger portion of a smaller pie
