Stay

life is a hard thing to understand
The dark and the light in the palm of your hand
the pain and the sorrow that peel you away
the love and the beauty that urge you to stay
we write beautiful books and incredible sounds
for a future we know people won't be around
to connect with the music and the books that you read
is to find your soul to be finally freed
and in such freedom we see that we are all one
and every accomplishment is one we've all done
together, apart we were all born of the earth
and we must arrive to see what it's all worth
maybe there's no reason to stay here, but no reason to go
stay and watch the sun set, stay and play in the snow
stay and be human for that is all you are
stay and write poems and sing songs in your car
though purpose is unclear, life still exists
so stay and enjoy the pain and fear you resist
you will see incredible things, you will watch yourself grow
the longer you stay the more you will know
But when the time comes, and you'll know when it does
you'll still think you were put on this earth just because
but that doesn't matter because there's one thing you'll see
you were given a gift and that gift is to be
living and dying is all part of the game
to sulk in the shadows or relish in fame
we are here for a reason to collectively stand
to all be together no matter what he had planned
and in the dark we are there to comfort the lost
and in the light we triumph no matter the cost
we run through the rain and we climb in the cold
we defy all the boundaries, deny what we're told
there's only one thing I know and one thing I'll say
that life is a mystery and for it, you must stay.

life's puprose may be unclear
life's puprose may be unclear, but your poetic bent brings great cheer.
