How do you measure the life of a woman or a man? In truths that she learned or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned or the way that she died. It's time now to sing out though the story never ends. Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends. Remember the love.
The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse. It can keep a soul alive even if all that survives is a shimmering.
Now if we had the power to bring our neighbors home from war, they would have never missed a Christmas no more ribbons on their door. When you trust your television what you get is what you got because when they own the information they can bend it all they want. We keep waiting on the world to change. It's hard to beat the system when we're standing at a distance. It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair.
There comes a moment in your life, like a window and you see your future there before you and how perfect life can be. But adventure calls with unknown voices pulling you away. Be careful or you may regret the choice you make someday. And yes some dreams come true and yes some dreams fall through.
When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they were always gonna have to do from the very beginning. Sit down and talk.
Fate and chance don't cancel each other out. I've seen you fail, but I've also seen you win. You can't let the universe push you around. You have to make bigger choices. You want answers, take control of your life.
I've been waiting for my dreams to turn into something I could believe in. Looking for that magic rainbow on the horizon, I couldn't see it until I let go. Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn. Now I'm coming alive, body and soul. I'll taste every moment and live it out loud. This is the time of my life.
I had to fall before I learned to stand up. If you can crawl then you can stand up, keep your head up. I've been let down but I've got some hope in disguise. I'll make it through all these colds days, even if I gotta stay inside. You know the sun's finally rising.
How do we find our true purpose? Is it something we're born with, written into our genetic code? Or is it something we must learn over time, a growing awareness derived from life's joys and sorrows; from our loves, our losses, our achievements, and our suffering?

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't. It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed. Some prayers find an answer, some prayers never know. We're holding on and letting go.
