Why are we born?
I aint going to lie
Don't look so forlorn
We are all born to die

Life's an adventure
That starts from day one
It may end with dementure
So what? Bring it on

Some are born pretty
Others so sad
But life in this city
Isn't always so bad

This city is life
Where we all have a place
Sometimes it's strife
Then again it's a race

To be and exceed
Is our ultimate goal
We aim to succeed
Not dig our own hole

From its seed we flower
Then whither and die
On our way we devour
The truth and the lie

We allow for others
The rights we desire
By respecting our mothers
For stoking the fire

The fire is the love
Which keeps us alive
To praise God above
Not him in the dive

So come on let's live
Let us stay and belong
To take and to give
Let's all live this song
