Listen to me, maybe you'll be thanking me tomorrow
This life is short, and our time here is only borrowed Living in the past can only bring you pain and sorrow But living in the spirit, only goodness can ever follow Every day remember to always count your blessingsLearn what you can, because this life is always testing Sometimes simple things turn out to be the best things Try to realize that most things don't deserve stressing And what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger Trust me, there were times I couldn't take it any longer If your life is like a book, then you would be the author Some chapters are shorter, and some are even longer Sometimes you might doubt that you even belong hereHave no fear because our time really isn't very long hereThis journey can be a long, tiring and winding road But even in it's darkness it's possible to find some hope You don't need the drugs to help you live and cope To be saintly and good you don't have to be the popeDon't take anything personally, extinguish hatred in you Look for God in the sunsets that he painted for youThis world was perfect when he made it for you Please remember these words I'm saying to you
