Nothing lasts for all we know
Everything is transient, Oh!
Young grows old, like me and you,
supple cheeks wrinkle,
Strong knees weaken and tremble,
Fast runs slow.
Fire burns low and lost its blaze.
Passion fades as love disappears.
Hot grows cold then it drops.
Life does come to its end;
Ashes to ashes,
From God we came.
This world is vague.
All around you’s temporary.
People are changing
From day to day.
Today they’re your friend,
Tomorrow they’re your foe.
Day goes by,
Time does fleet.
Every minute’s a gem,
Every second’s a gold.
You’ll realize later…
An hour’s just a dream.
Act now and start moving
Be what you want to be.
Enjoy each morning that comes
Be happy for everyday.
Achieve all your dreams…
You’re not too late, this battle’s not yet over.
