We spend a lot of time just in search
For the meaning of this life we live
But we just can't see it from our precarious perch
So in the end we just accept the knife death gives
And while we all strive to make our mark
Most of us leave the world unaccomplished
But that's because we lack will and our demise is stark
Why try for what we've already wished
No we're not immortal or even bulletproof
But why don't we even try for what some would die
Call me crazy.. but if you ask me, something is aloof
We all want to be remembered but we never want to cry
Heaven requires some effort and sacrifice
Both living and beyond our end of days
Selfishness, greed, and laziness will not suffice
You can always do better, no one is set in their ways
Maybe this is true or maybe I'm a fool
That's for the individual to decide
I might be naive, but I am not a tool
I will be accomplished by the time I have died
