People are all the same,
it doesnt matter if they have fame.
It matters who they are inside,
just like the ocean needs the tide

People take life for granted,
i really just can’t stand it.
Sometimes it just breaks my heart,
because life is as precious as a work of art.

It doesnt matter if you’re black or white or asian or indian,
all our lives have the same meaning.
We are born, we live, we die.
you see those things through the old seeing eye.

Give every day a chance,
maybe oneday you will find romance.
So stop taking life for granted,
you are still a child you’ll never understand it
