Live Up Or Die Living
There's always something
There's always a lot
But there's an end to nothing
And in the end, we are the ones we have fought
So why live each day
Why dream each nite
Why breathe every breath
When you know, its death your going to get
Life has to end someday
So why toil and wait for it to come your way
Why not end it all now
Before its too late, to break any wow
Why not give it all up soon
Before you call it, your very own too
Give up your worries
Give up your cries
But you will have to hurry
Before your life dies
Taking it easy, taking it cool
Doesn't make life worthy
Doesn't make life bloom
You can have it your way, no doubt
But listen to what others say, aloud
For all are not fools
All are not cruel
Open your eyes, open your ears
Live life to its fullest
Take life to its furthest
Happy you shall be then
Only if you do, what you should do when
