If you value your days then take them real slow
Be careful, keep safe and mind how you go
Life has its own pace of rhythm and rhyme
Unfortunately for some they just don't take the time
Not because it's a nuisance but usually it's this;
between a rock and a hard place life's bus they will miss
Without warning or notice life will suddenly abort
any long term arrangements and cut their life short
So carpe diem! I say aloud, with a will and a might
And know for your time here you fought the good fight
Time lost with real people is more cause for sorrow
but never mind friends there's always tomorrow
Who knows, hey! that might just be the day
When peace and goodwill to all men comes our way
I mean, let's not totally give away all of our hope
I'm sure between us we really can cope
with the negative things that are really man made
and allow only positive things to invade
our lives, be it ever so short or so long
So lift up our voices in glorious song!
It's true when they say where there's a will there's a way
Let's look toward tomorrow and just live for today.
