What Would Life Be?
I have seen much sadness,
Things I never dreamed I'd see...
So many times, this life
Has made a fool of me!
I don't cry at night,
Or hide my face and weep,
Because I know the answer
So I don't question destiny.
Life is of course a race,
And I need something to defeat,
If life was picture perfect,
And everything was right and neat,
Then what would be my purpose?
What would life mean to me?
