Respect for Life...

We start to live before we know what living means We follow every moment, never asking where it leads Somewhere along the way, we lose the questions we should ask And years go by while we're still learning who we are Then one day, something changes in the way we see it all We look behind us, seeing things we never saw before And wonder who we'd be, if we had known what we know now But is there still enough time to change the road ahead? As long as we're still here, tomorrow isn't written yet Maybe knowing that is where respect for life begins Life, I never knew what you were asking of me Now I know we're only here for a while Maybe every breath means more when we know it won't last forever So while we're here, let's learn what it means to truly live Knowing what we missed doesn't show us where to go Clarity can find us, while the answers still remain unclear We can't rewrite the past, but we can learn from every page And carry what it taught us into every day ahead Maybe growing older isn't losing time But learning what it's worth Every life deserves respect Every story leaves a trace And while our story's still unfolding We can choose what comes next Life, I never knew what you were asking of me Now I know we're only here for a while Maybe every breath means more when we know it won't last forever So while we're here, let's learn what it means to truly live
