Life at this moment is the reality
for not in a dream could there be such brutality,
give it your best for it will not come again
for each life's unique you see, it's your domain.
But each life holds dreams to make that difference
don't pretend it doesn't exist nor treat it with indifference,
hold those illusions tight, make them come true
to achieve the dream your own excellence you must persue.
Should death take you in darkness, you'll have lived this life well
whether or not you believe in heaven or hell,
so don't waste a moment, make sure each one counts
and should you end up in heaven you'll have a full bank account.
