We go through life

The motions second nature

Get a job

Find a lover

Be on your best behavior

We go through life

And soon begin to question

Who we are

What we want

What the gods have destined

We go through life

All of its many stages

We run

We walk

Make up words that fill up pages

We go through life

They say so fast

In a zip

In a fly

Like a camera’s flash

We go through life

Trying to take it all in

The places

The people

The things that make our heads spin

We go through life

Never knowing the truth

Where are we from

Where will we go

Whatever should we do

We go through life

Feeling amazed

Depressed

And nervous

Our heads in a haze

We go through life

Trying our best

To love

To live

To leave something for those left.
