That's Life

We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize we only have one. Tom Hiddleston

  • Survival of the Fittest

    To seek all that is right and wrong
    To believe in what is true
    To lose all track of time and space
    And never search for clues

    To find even the slightest thing
    To upset Nature’s balance
    Would certainly be foolish
    So why take the chance?

    I’ve grown accustomed to the light
    And I’ve grown weary of the night
    I can’t tell you what it means to fight
    For all the things that I feel are right

    Life is full of so many choices
    So listen to the many voices
    They might help you to decide
    What affects you deep inside

    Survival of the fittest, reality
    Don’t you believe in destiny?
    You must be ambitious to produce
    A state of ultimate mentality…

  • Ordinary Man

    Sometimes I wonder how much there is to know
    Should I disturb the creek or just let it flow
    I’ve spent too much time on foreign land
    I must learn to be an ordinary man

    Times have changed quite a bit and so have I
    I think that I will stop trying to learn how to fly
    Give me time and if I can
    I will try to be an ordinary man

    Being rich won’t give you happiness
    You’ll find that as a person you are much less
    I think it’s time I make a stand
    And for myself become an ordinary man

  • Time Out

    We all know what it’s like to be free
    Every man knows what he wants to be
    And if you look hard enough you’ll find what you want
    And maybe even something that you need

    You wake up in the morning to find
    That someone’s left you, left you behind
    Don’t get discouraged, you’ll get back your strength
    All it takes is a little bit of time

    Now that you’ve got your final time alone
    Don’t be so wasteful, and let it all be blown
    Take your time and think it out
    Be careful not to unravel what you’ve sewn

    Dream yourself through the Milky Way
    And if you wish by all means stay
    Go up to live and don’t come down
    At any time other than the day

    Be free and o all that you wish
    Shoot a bird or catch a fish
    You’re on your own, now, enjoy to the hilt
    But when it comes time for you to share
    Don’t be selfish!

  • Dream and Dream Again

    There’s no more time
    To do what you like
    There’s too much to be done
    And too much to be said

    There’s no more sense
    To be made of this
    So believe me please, it’s true
    There’s nothing you can do

    Dream and dream again
    Of the way you want it to be
    Of the things you want to see
    Dream and dream again

    Someday you’ll be alone
    In a place you dreamed about
    Only dreams — no more pretend
    Good luck! I hope you make it!

    Dream and dream again
    You can’t change, I fear
    Fate will always be there
    Especially in the end…

  • That’s Life

    That’s life
    That’s the way that it goes
    You look and search
    But nobody knows
    The things that you know

    How will you ever know
    If what you feel is right
    You squirm and struggle
    And put up a fight
    With anything in sight

    So live it up
    Enjoy life at its high
    ‘Cause it won’t change
    No matter how hard you try…
    That’s life!

  • On Any Given Day

    What ever you believe is true
    May not be true, you see
    You can do what you want to do
    But it may not be for free

    There’s always space where no one cares
    About anything you say
    You can do things no one dares
    On any given day

    So be what you will, do what you please
    Whatever you feel is right
    Do what you do — and do it with ease
    No need to put up a fight

    So enjoy yourself at your own expense
    Nobody gives a damn —
    Relax, if you’re feeling tense
    You can do it, you know you can…
