Why we do it

Let’s not do it for riches

Let’s not do it for gold

Let’s do it for our hearts

Let’s do this till we grow old

Let us share our pains and gains

In this deep mysterious journey of ours

Let’s inspire, and invigorate others

Let us evoke passionate debates

Let us be the change that we are seeking

In this world

Let’s do this till we grow old

Let’s bare our souls

Let’s mourn the death of our ideals

Let’s be realistic

But still dreamers

Let us not do this for riches nor for gold

Let’s do this so that in our old

Age, we can be proud of who we are,

And who we’ve become

And mourn who we’ve lost along

The way

Either way, let’s celebrate today

To me and you

Let us forever be true

And the most authentic versions we can be

Let’s just be you and me

Let’s dream a dream today

As we close our eyes, drifting away

Let’s be calm, and allow ourselves to be carried

Let’s be happy till the day we’re buried

Maybe then, we can sleep

Maybe then we can keep

Our feet on the ground, and sweep

These sorrows away

On this sunny day

Warm as the middle of May
