No one taught me to stay alive
Oxygen feeds the lungs to keep the blood pumping
But doesn't feed the mind

There is always hope
whether we have it or have it not
we are just a dot in the scheme of life

and if heaven will show you a replay
I hope you are proud

some have sold people happiness,
some have helped people do things they couldn't do themselves

about my woes and journey so far
but I have forgotten how a guitar is strung
nor how to arrange the solfa

I have dreamed many a dream that didn't come true
I have woken up many a time to skies that aren't blue
but life is still worth living for me
life is worth living for me
