All I Can Do


I will not disappear

I won’t let the sands of time

Drag me down and out of view.

I will rise and and climb

until I've done all I can do.

I won’t be remembered thorugh fame,

and that’s fine

But I will be remembered by those

Whose lives have been touched my mine

I believe to find your life

You have to lose it.

I want to give my life to others

And let them use it

I will leave a mark on their hearts,

Someway, somehow.

I’m still young

But the time to start is now

One job could change my life

But that job will be changing the lives of others
