Lyrics
Has anyone ever told you of the many places to go to, living plenty. You can go anywhere you choose. With nothing very much to lose. Cause nothing really matters to you but your life. And if you don't use it you might as well lose it so go on and go through with it. Live your life any way you like. Set your soul alight. Launch towards the star that shines most bright. Travel new lands with empty hands. You can't lose more than you don't have. Satisfy all your soul's demands. Teach yourself to understand this life.
Has anyone ever sold you gold and lies and produce, was it worthy? Did they tell you gold is dirty. It isn't worthy of your cries. It can corrupt your way of life. It draws the sheilds and kniives. Bites the hand and clips the wings that fly. You can't but all you want from life, you have to go see it with your eyes. Flap your ears your mind will fly. To where the stars and moons collide. To where the universe ignites. Then when you die you'll know you've been alive.
Wasting time on climbing up a vine that's growing as you're running out of life. Dream your goals exist to strive make the most of every day alive. Take some time to taste the wine bask amongst the warm sunshine. Choose the plan that you design and don't waste time on climbing up a vine.
