I walk through time

I walk through strife

Of Past, present and future

And through changes of life

And I wonder, what’s life?

What’s life? Without love

A child in his mother’s lap

Or the romance we heard of

What’s life? Without hurt

Hanging by a thread yet no sign of help

Silence taking over my cries

And the fear of being myself

What’s life? With no fear, how do we feel safe?

What’s life? With no loss, how do we know gain?

What’s life? if there is no death?

What’s life? Without a little pain.
