The meaning of life
What are we here for, what purpose do we serve?
And do we really get the things we deserve.
We wake each day and battle through
Always doing the best that we can do
Some days are good some days are bad
Sometimes happy sometimes sad
Life’s a journey a one way ride nowhere to run nowhere to hide
The strength to succeed is in us all
Sometimes we fight sometimes we fall
The decisions we make the choice is there for us all
It’s up to us to make the judgement call
What will be, fate cast’s its hand
Under no illusion of where we stand
Existing each day when are we living
Are we rewarded for all our giving?
Does society say we have a voice?
Do we have rights do we have choice
Can we decide how we will be?
The things we want the people we see
Must we assume and then be told
The choice is not ours and left in the cold
Will we marry will we not?
Are we happy with what we’ve got?
A baby or two to brighten our days
To mask the headache and clear the haze
A special moment from start to finish
The love for our children will never diminish
Their hopes and dreams we hold in our heart
Always there to play our part
Giving support and guidance too
By their side in all that they do
Even as adults they still rely
Upon our wisdom and shoulder to cry
Grandchildren may come nothing is certain
How will it end before the final curtain?
When time is up and we’ve done all we can do
Can we say to ourselves we are true?
Did we follow our hopes and dreams?
The endless ideas and hopeless schemes
There is no manual no easy way
Life gets more complex day by day
With every twist and every turn
The spoils taken by those that learn
All we can do is ride the knife
And hope that through all the trouble and strife
One day we will finally discover the meaning of life
