Ive seen the world with these two eyes.
A movie played inside my mind.
Ive traveled the seas in half the time
Without ever leaving home.
Ive spread my wings but didnt fly
Ive touched heaven, but I didnt die
Had the chance to ask God why
Without ever receiving an answer.
Ive count the stars and made to ten
Lost track and had to start again.
People laughed, but thats how we make friends
Without ever knowing their name.
Ive loved completely and watched them leave
I tell the storysome dont believe
Let them go or did you flee?
Without seeing what tomorrow brings.
Ive cried like I would never smile
Walked in darkness for half a mile
Saw the sun in the distance for a small while
Without ever feeling its rays.
Ive walked the beachestasted the breeze
There was a time that Ive felt free.
Touched my soul and let life be
Without any regrets to hold.
Ive laughed until I could not breathe
Gasped for air and let people see
Theres so much more inside of me
Without speaking a word.
Ive held the wonders of the earth
Experienced the beauty since my birth.
Moments made filled with mirth
Without spending a dime.
Ive faced my fears with a stern face
Let them know that they knew their place.
Life is mine to feel safe
Without worrying whats beyond the corner.
Ive seen it all, yet know theres more
Some steps Ive relived before.
But Ill keep walking across the floor
Without knowing where each step falls.
I know the dangers. I know the cost
But I know my life is never lost.
So Ill keep living with my unknown cause
Without asking for anything in return.
Ill gain some friendssome memories, too
To myself, I vow to be true.
And Ill push myself to make it through
Without giving myself the chance to fail.
This is lifeits what you make it
Take it now, but please dont break it.
Life does not come with a life time guarantee
Its yours to take without knowing what it will be.
