How To Live

“I’m fine”
He said with tears in his eyes
But the saddest part of all
Was that he believed that lie
That this was just his life
That he was born so he could die
And whatever got him there
Couldn’t come at a higher price

Teach me how to live
One day at a time
With the end in mind
Teach me how to trust
In every mystery I’ll find
A reason to believe

”I’m tired”
He said rolling out of bed
”Of hanging onto life
While it drags me to my death
Wretched man I am
Oh, I proved it once again
Looking for the light
From the tunnel that I’m in”

Teach me how to live
One day at a time
With the end in mind
Teach me how to trust
In every mystery I’ll find
A reason to believe

Teach me how to live
One day at a time
With the end in mind
Teach me how to trust
In every mystery I’ll find
A reason to believe
