<span style='font-family: times new roman; font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-weight: normal; '>For the<br />
First time<br />
In so many<br />
Years, I<br />
Really<br />
Feel like<br />
Living...<br />

Why? <br />

' Cause<br />
Death is<br />
So near me<br />
That I really<br />
Feel like living</span><br />
