The time has come to face the truth
There is no more time for callow youth
Step by step, one at a time
Life, a set of stairs to climb
How will you live out your life
One chance, no afterlife
Live like there is no tomorrow
Take control, don't go with the flow
Keep close those who treat you right
Keep away those who would put up a fight
Plan but do not take vengeance
Always pay your penance
Take care of everyone especially the old
Karma pays everything back ten fold
Use your imagination everyday
Never forget even adults can play
Be honest like a child that hasn't learned to lie
Never hold back tears, let it out, Cry
Be who you are and nothing more
Never stay down pick yourself off the floor
The enemy of your enemy is never your friend
Build trust, don't give it, people can pretend
Love hard be unafraid of the pain it may cause
But never be afraid to give love a pause
Remember you are who you are be happy with that
And always recognize life can knock you flat
It makes no difference how long you stay down
As long as in the end you pick your self off the ground
