I'm grateful for the lessons
The good ones and the bad
The times of love and laughter
And those that made me sad
For every road I've traveled
That led to a dead end
For all the love lost on the way
And the comfort of a friend
Living is a study
Not all will understand
You're either learning or you're dying
No matter what you planned
Don't look for rhyme or reason
Or logic you can see
If there is a masterplan
It's beyond you or me
Learn from everyone you love
Enjoy them while you can
For nothing lasts forever
As time slips through your hand
And in the end, it goes so fast
All you love will die
Leaving you in solitude
No explanation why
And if you've lived for just yourself
You played and lost the game
An empty life with nothing learned
And just yourself to blame
