Breathe
Talk
Smile
Walk
Read
Write
Socialize
Grow in height
Find yourself
Don't do drugs
Do good in school
Give your grieving mother hugs
Don't drop out
Enjoy your teenage years
Don't get arrested
Face your fears
Go to a good college
Enjoy your twenties
Now you could drink
And hook up plenty
Go into the world
Fend for yourself
Get a job
don't ask for help
Start a family
With your beautiful wife
Work
Love
Laugh
Enjoy life
Work
Work
Work
Some more
This wasn't what all those years of college were for
Turn forty
Fifty
Midlife crisis
Watch your precious daughter get her license
Retire from your job
You are now free
To be whatever you want to be
Head to warm weather
To live out your days
Your life will resort to its earlier ways
Read all the books there are to read
Walk and lead who you have left to lead
Talk before you lose your voice
Breathe before you have no choice
Life is no circle
But a cycle, you see
And people live thinking they're free
But all they will ever be
Is a life and a death
In a bigger scheme
