Watching the rain splash to the ground
hearing the crash, that thunderious sound
feeling like your lost out in the forest
the play on words, as you sing the chorus
"Life is to short, to be bitter
why ruin the one shot, just to be a quitter
like the flash of lightning, in the blink of an eye
it could all be over in a brillant light,
and in a single moment a loved one could die"
You close your eye's waiting for the storm to pass
holding onto every breath as if it were glass
smiling to yourself, of every great memory in the past
walking soft, you step forward
one foot toward the future,
one foot solid and sure
trying to keep your head held high
looking for answers off in the distant sky
"Life is to short, to dwell on the things you have no controll over
Why ruin this one life, by keeping it covered
so hold tight, and kiss your lover
for this life is to short
to let all your wonders take to port"
