A Lifetime lyrics

So many things to do

So little time to get them done

Yet so many mill and moan

Without might, wanting to die

What then merits living

Living on so, e'er listlessly

Do the chains of pain demand

Or the sufferings of choices made

Days are often unremarkable

For those that venture nowhere

The mundane drone electronic

Where doldrums remain despotic

One lifetime is n'er enough

To achieve all ambitions sought

The arts, sciences, talents too

A monumental task to learn

Education does not end then

When formal halls give way so

The importance of lessons informal

Are immeasurable in their value

Yet so many waste them away

Days turn into years, lost intents

The airs disparaging heap up

Obscuring the benevolence of living

To be with the wonder of a child

Once everything was an adventure

A world full of magnificence

Misplaced by illusions in a lifetime
