This is for you, our life

by Iolana   Jul 1, 2005


This is what it sounds like when doves cry
This is for the breaking hearts
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for those sad rainy mornings
This is for those lonely winter nights
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for the fat kid who got pushed around
This is for the skinny kid, with their finger down their throat
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for the depressed child who found some pills
This is for the kid who found a knife and cut to deep
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for the pressured kid, who took the drug to look cool
This for the kid who took it to forget it all
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for that girl who thought it was safe to walk down a dark alley
This is for the toddler, covering his ears to block out his fighting parents
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for the third-world child, born with AIDS, tear stricken face, and an empty stomach
This is for the one lying in their bathroom in their own blood
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This for the girl who had her heart broken by the one she loved
This is for the one who thought he had to bring a gun to school
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for the one who drank to much at a party
This is for the one he hit with his car
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
This is for the little girl who had to watch her daddy shoot her mommy
This is for the mom who had to stand on corner just to feed her children
Its now or never
We're not going to live forever
Its our life
