Life is a gift Make the most of it We exist for a short time So focus on your purpose Take it all in stride Live before you die Life is a gift I don't want to live forever Just long enough to see my enemy's surrender And my family doing better I hope to god I can make it till November 21st the birth of my first child Kiss my wife tell her it was all worth while To know you I hope I don't leave this earth before you I don't believe in luck But I'm told I'm a lucky man The universe don't give a fuck If you got some other plans Life is a gift Make the most of it We exist for a short time So focus on your purpose Take it all in stride Live before you die Life is a gift Although it, may sound sugarcoated A hallmark greeting card quoted you should know that It's a hard road that lead to that conclusion and I drove it Lately I been feeling trapped in a corner and overloaded Claustrophobic you could say, my shoulders being weighed down By a never slowin' down brain holy cow I Need to take a moment the sound of silence sounds damn good damn good don't it I got a wife now my hand I hold it to her stomach that is growin' full of life now That shit is heavy so its hard take it light now My time is valuable including right now these word that I write down Are like a vow to let my future self off the hook for making every mistake in the book That babblin' brook will still babble after they spill the gravel On my coffin top so I often stop and remember that Life is a gift Make the most of it We exist for a short time So focus on your purpose Take it all in stride Live before you die Life is a gift Life is a gift Life is a gift Life is a gift Life is a gift Life is a gift
