"Some of us Fall
by the Wayside
Some of us Soar
to the Stars
Some of us Sail
through our Troubles
Some of us Live with the Scars."

FROM DEATH
TO LIFE

🦄 🦋

VERSE 1:
(Life) Hey there, ol' buddy, Death, you're looking rather blue,
(Death) Ah, Life, it's just the job, it's what I've gotta do.
(Life) You take the breath, the joy, the bloom of every day,
(Death) But without me, you'd be stuck in endless play.

(Life) I paint the world in hues of every kind,
(Death) But it's my touch that makes them cherish time.
(Life) In every giggle, in every tear that falls,
(Death) Stands the reminder that we both give life to all.

CHORUS:
We're the yin and yang, the push and shove,
The bittersweet ballet that makes hearts move.
Without the sadness, joy's not quite so grand,
Without the end, a story's not so planned.

VERSE 2:
(Life) In Shakespeare's sonnets and a Van Gogh starry night,
(Death) I'm the silence 'twixt the notes in Mozart's might.
(Life) In every heartbeat, every tender kiss,
(Death) I'm the final curtain, the ultimate miss.

(Life) You took Elvis, you took Marilyn's gleam,
(Death) But they live on in each and every dream.
(Life) The Titanic sank, and Romeo lost his bride,
(Death) Yet love's the tale that never truly died.

CHORUS:
We're the whispers in the autumn breeze,
The soft goodbye that everyone seizes.
Without the dark, the light's not quite so bright,
Without the storm, the rainbow's not in sight.

VERSE 3:
(Life) I give 'em laughter, love, a reason to dance,
(Death) And I, the silence when they get their final chance.
(Life) The sunsets and the dawns, the seasons' twirl,...
