Lost in Translation

by The Flame Within   Mar 18, 2008


An epic adventure known as life
filled with happiness served alongside with strife
a double edge sword that saves the day
but when its all over it takes everything away
why do we try why do we pray
because in the end we know we have a price to pay
should I take two coins to cross the river Styx when I die
at the end should I write a letter telling everyone good bye
will my body give its last breath and just fade away into the sky
is there an easy way out, that won't make me cry
I think not, I believe life is harder then we think
we make one mistake and it spreads out like ink
it stains our souls well our innocence starts to shrink
we are all on the brink of our bodies becoming extinct
we never know when we will meet our end
so what message will you leave, what lesson will you send
to those who know you, to the ones who do not
will they remember your life, will they know how you fought
realize now that Life never ends, it only changes form
like how a perfect sunny day turns into a dark and cloudy storm
Memories don't fade, but our bodies do
so ask yourself, who will remember you
put meaning in your life, learn how to live
and always remember the lessons other peoples lives can give
thank God for being alive,don't pass a chance to be grateful for what we hold
try to live in happiness,to the day you grow old
Yes life is hard,we feel lonely, and everything starts to get cold
but thats when we need to fight for what we have, and become bold
I thank God for this life, and for everyone that I know
because life is like a mountain covered in the snow
it has steeps and dips, and paths hard to complete
destinations that you have to reach with obstacles making it harder for ends to meet
but when you stand from afar the mountains look so calm
and yet the closer you get the more sweat there is in your palm
gather your strength along side your wisdom to complete the challenges you face
don't let yourself fall, don't give up on anything no matter the case
don't let your mind erase the goals you try to chase
read carefully and try not to forget
this lesson that I have spoken of, and goals I have set
because in the end, you will ask yourself if you have learned this lesson yet
