It doesn’t matter that I don’t
know any of you
Nor that I never will
because we’re just the present
There were people here before us
sitting on this same patch of grass
and there are those
who will come after
while we’re dead and buried
and we’ll just be the past
So sing while you have breath
and laugh while you have lips to smile
and love while you have voice
to whisper “I love you”
in that special someone’s ear
For life is short
though the road seems long
and those of the present have no
time to waste
on silly games of right and wrong
on jobs that last from nine to five
on being the observer
standing at the window merely looking in
never daring to come inside
while in the end we’re all the same
and in the end love is all that matters
anyway
