A Song for Being Alive

Marvel at the splendor of natural wonder

While living in a world unlike any other,

And attempt to view life as an opportunity

To accept the human identity

Along with the nature of mortality,

But people can still live with authenticity,

Especially since there is an ethereal sense of majesty

All across the beauty that defines reality,

And through the maintenance of personal purity,

Life itself can still be truly wonderful,

And maybe even magical,

Yet even if fantasy is too ideal to be real,

People could still do anything acceptable

By focusing on the fundamental

To create something very essential,

And through the avoidance of doing anything wrong,

People can still do anything possible to endure for sure

With a heart and a soul that can both be pure

By dancing through life all life long

While being as beautiful as a musical song
