Knowing that I’ll die tomorrow what can I do today
Whether that tomorrow be tomorrow, a minute or a light year away
And I run into someone who paints the sky
In the perfect poetry of giving me a reason why
Why this is all worth it, the hurt and the pain
There’s no flower that grows that hasn’t known rain
No crystal that hasn’t been purified by silence
The weight of the world’s crushing violence
Can we burst into the vivid colour of truth
Are children only an aspect of youth
Or are they something that blossoms and blooms
Listen as peace fills up the room
And I’m driven distracted by my own mind
And the persistent feeling I’ve left someone behind
How do I catch it like I’d catch a cold
I step out on the plank because I am bold
But I am turning pirate in my own skin
I look for him everywhere but the Captain within
Can’t save me from my own void
And in its abyss I am destroyed
As all I’ve known myself to be
I let go of the rope and finally see
That sentience is as sentience does
And the heart of the matter is that all is love
I pick you up every time you fall
Life takes care of life on the wall
And if I were to lose it all
I’d still hear the call from down the hall
As I wake up at 3am
Does the laughter arise in the midst of the game
Because the sunset caught my eye
What would you do today if you knew you wouldn’t die?
