I can hear it now
The rain upon my window
Something inside me
Answers to it's call

How long have I stood here
Watching the world go by
Never really understanding
What it meant to be alive

It's a funny thing, life
Full of mysteries and mazes
Branching roads, but no signs
Endless skies, but no wings

Sometimes, I lay awake and wonder
What does it all really mean?
Are we destined for greatness,
Or just for nothingness?

One life to live
So many paths
Which is the right one?
And how many are wrong...

Will we ever figure it out?
Or do we die still wondering
What is life meant to be
And how do I live it?

Put one foot in front
Smile up at the sun
Dance wildly in the rain
And leave nothing to chance
Just thought it up, see what ya think!
