There was this person
Who wanted to live
Lived in tarnation
But begged to be saved
With calloused fingers
And loud bated breaths
He crawled upwards
Up to heaven from hell

There was this person
Who begged to live
Clinging tight to hope
Prayed and he believed
Wishing for happiness
Longing for greatness
With each inch of his life
He fought and lived

Even when the world
Turned on its axis
Moving on forward
Leaving him breathless
He still ran without pause
Despite his pain and hurt
See that? He lived, he lived
And he lived

That man could be me
And you
It hurts but we can do it too
So today let's live again
For ourselves
Like the man who lived.
