Living is a gift

Keep god in your heart,
hold love in your life,
don't fear other people,
you're not always right.
Forgive when you can, stand up to the man
and love everybody: treat all as your family.

A million faces in every day,
the devil works hard but you don't have to sway.
You CAN say when your wrong and help carry on:
for those who don't know and those who need you to be strong.
Remember we're all people, we've all got our flaws;
Sometimes you might find it hard to go on.

I've seen a president break down in tears
And 10 years given to a man without any peers.
A lesson that we all have to learn is stay honest:
because there are people out there who will kill you for just trying
to live a life out in the open disagreeing with policies that happen to be broken;
but think of this while your choking on Hollywood smoke:
you can make a difference or complain about being broke.

There's always a worse path that any of us could have taken
but people: none breathing out there are forsaken...
