How Much Longer?
June 10, 2013
How much longer do we have to live?
100 years?
1,200 months?
Did we make a difference?
Was it honestly enough?
How much longer do we have to live?
4,800 weeks?
36,500 days?
When you speak like this,
It doesn't seem like much.
How much longer do we have to live?
876,000 hours?
52,560,000 minutes?
Did you live for every moment?
Or did you let one slip away?
How much longer do we have to live?
Do we really know?
In the end does it even matter?
When we look back at our life,
Will we be sadder or gladder?
How much longer do we have to live?
In our hearts I think we know,
We could live 3,153,600,000 seconds more,
Or we could live just simply one.
