Too many days we only exist
Just get through the day
Not knowing what we missed
Unaware there is a price to pay
Eating, sleeping, doing chores
Forgetting there is another way
Staying mentally in-doors
Holding life itself at bay
Our days should have a goal
Something special we can do
Instead of hiding in a hole
Make life exciting and brand-new
When we turn in for the night
Looking back on what we did
We should not be at all contrite
But happy like a little kid
Life is for the living after all
Let’s live it up and have a ball
