[Verse 1] This little party we call life Ain’t about your happiness Though the temptation lingers Like an old familiar song Illusions pree-Zent as certainties Then quietly leave through another door The next century keeps calling Yet, the future never sings its name Never explains itself Never gives you a receipt [Verse 2] Entire nations drift Between memory and appetite Old arguments change uniforms And march beneath fresh banners The same molecules Different feet and hands Different heads and hearts Different souls [Verse 3] Some carry maps Some carry pain Some carry scars Some Carry All three and and share their wisdom Self-pity is a counterproductive waste Continuous learning is a lifetime Effort is your Bless-ed reward Be kind and give help to those who offer need [Chorus] Still the question remains What belongs to us? The applause? The shame? The final chapter? Or simply our next choice? This little party we call life Ain’t about your happiness It’s about a vision for peace on Earth True enough to survive the merchants of doubt [Verse 4] One child inherits silence And names it strength Another inherits anger And names it truth A third receives nye-ther And spends years translating What emerges without words The signal travels forward through time and space Unless someone interrupts it Not perfectly Not permanently Just long enough For us to remember a better way [Chorus] Still the question remains What belongs to us? The harvest? The credit? The proof? Or only the trauma? This little party we call life Ain’t about your happiness It’s about a striving for peace on Earth That refuses to surrender [Bridge] Paradox and contradiction persevere every generation Hold too tight And it can slip away Hold too loose And you might get crushed [rest] Somewhere in between control And indifference A clear path opens Let the clean power flow Blow out the flame Trust the soil, the water, the sun, and the wind To win the game [Final Chorus] This little party we call life Ain’t about your happiness Though joy still arrives And remains a welcome guest It’s about joining a chorus Already underway Singing one melody together In rhythm and harmony No solo grand finale No curtain call No final bow The future never sings its name The ending never shows its hand Still the work continues Still the invitation stands [Final Lines] No promises No guarantees No judgements Only Love And Devotion To a future that never sings its name [fini]
