Life Is About Moving On Anyway - 55
Life Is About Moving On Anyway
Song One
Moving On Is Another Name Of Life Anyway
[Stanza 1]
You don’t get to go back and correct your mistakes
In this life somethings you just cannot replace
Don’t keep looking back
What’s done is done
Don’t look back
Because past cannot be undone
Life stops for nobody
Whether we are somebody or nobody
Moving on is another name of life
In this life that’s to stay
Moving on is the game of life
We all have to play
No matter how hard we try to run away
We are all out here in this journey called life
Arms wide open head held high
The world ahead of us
An endless field and open skies
Future unknown and nothing we can take for granted
Not even our closest ties
Our destinations in life are numerous
With many crossroads in between
Only God knows where this journey is going to take us
Oblivious as we are of our destiny
[Stanza 2]
Life stops for nobody
It is like a river that runs deep
And keeps moving forward
Likewise we have to keep moving forward
In this journey of life it stops for nobody
If you sit on the sidelines too long
For someone to come along
Waiting for the tide to subside
Instead of taking life by the horns
Life will pass you by
Without love by your side
You will never be able to reach your destination
You have only one life
Why live life with resignation
Always moving forward is the sign of life
Always moving forward
Is another game of life
And stagnation is the sign of death
Song Two
Life Is A Journey
[Stanza 1]
You are not the only one in this journey of life
People will come and go into your life
Some to stay
And make a difference
Others as passers by
And lessons to be learnt in may day
Some bring happiness into your life
Others are just a lesson to be learnt
[Stanza 2]
Why waste time playing the blame game
And what could or could not have been
Since nothing ever really stays the same
When it’s lot simpler to leave the bankruptcies of your life
And just move on
One way or other
They will all leave their mark today
In a known or in an unknowing way
Like footprints in the sand
Affecting your destiny and your mind
No matter which path we take
[Stanza 3]
The path ahead is filled with ups and down
Destiny unknown
And opportunities that will come and go
The path ahead is filled with curve balls
And shortcuts easy to take and stray
It is not always about being right
it is also not always about being wrong
Nor is it easy to stay on the path
When temptations all around us are abound
The path we still take to get to our destination
It still happens to be as important
As the one in our imagination
Because the path we take
Defines who and what we are
The path we do take
Ultimately defines us as the person we are
[Stanza 4]
Change is another name of life
Changing with times is an
Important survival game of life
That we all have to play
Changing with times in this tough world
Gives you a strong hold
To keep moving forward strong and bold
Adapting to changing times
Is important in winning the game of life
[Stanza 5]
You do not get too many chances at winning
No matter how hard you strife
This world belongs to the one
Who changes with time and keeps on ticking
This world belongs to the person
Who keeps on moving forward at all times
The world belongs to the person
Who keeps moving on in life
Hold your head up high and accept change
And keep moving forward
Because that is how you win this game
Song Three
Life Is Such A Quagmire
[Stanza 1]
Life can sometimes be such a quagmire
And it sometimes feels like such a satire
Nothing in this world permanent and universe seems to conspire
No matter what may or may not have transpired
Everything seems so quintessential within our reach yet not near
And all the best laid plans that misfire
And dominoes effect that sets into motion that has gone haywire
It’s like Sergei Brin rubbing our nose in it by being on the cover of Esquire
And no more challenges left for him but few countries to acquire
It’s like a deer caught in the headlights a price so dear
While I am sitting roasting marshmallows on the bonfire
The unknown all around me sometimes makes me perspire
This life sometimes feels like I am walking on tight wire
And being thrown into eye of the danger without being equipped with right attire
At my wits end trying to make sense of my life and trying to get inspired
Maybe God will send me a sign the skies above me are so sapphire
In this crooked world things to stay clear
And things to stay away from and steer
With this bustling world streets of dire
And hustling strangers such crooked liars
It’s like being out of a pan and into a fryer
And it feels like blood is being sucked out of you by a vampire
To this beautiful thought that so cavalier
It’s like the beating drums of the town crier
Spelling the death knoll on your favorite team that’s about to retire
[Stanza 2]
It feels good the weekend is finally here
You get to tell your boss that’s for sire
And you are not his slave for hire
And enjoy the weekend to my heart’s desire
With a tight kick from my roomie on my rear
It’s time to get the engine of my Chevrolet on fire
And feel the rubber burning on the tire
And time to kickback and enjoy life in full gear
With your best friends and cold beer
In high spirits and all around cheer
Having fried clams and crab at the pier
And your girlfriend in short skirts to admire
It’s like having on your arms the celebrity Brittney Spears
Making you feel like the man of the year
In this life we all have to endear
To live life to the fullest a rule to live by and to adhere
In God’s eyes we should consider this as the final frontier
No matter how the game of life may seem to appear
Ultimately we all have to persevere
Work hard and play hard only compliment you can give to yourself so sincere
Few things in this life you should always revere
Treat this world like a movie with you as the premiere
Reaching the heights and soaring the skies we all aspire
This happens to be life’s most beautiful elixir
And it’s about sailing the high seas in high speed without fear
Song Four
Go Out There And Change The World
[Stanza 1]
What are you scared of
All you need is courage
Not unheard of
Don’t let people stop you or fold
Don’t be scared of this world
Don’t be scared of what people will say
People will talk no matter what you do have to do or say
Remember it is not always about your religion
But also about theirs and their blatant assumptions
Go out there and make a difference
First and foremost in your own life
And that will give you the strength to do so in other people’s life
Obstacles will always be there
That in essence is life
Not a smooth journey no matter how much you prepare
Meant to be removed from your path and overcomed
If you don’t remove them
How will you get to your destination?
Go conquer this world
This world is yours
Go make a difference
You were born to do so
The day you were born
[Stanza 2]
This world is your playground
Don’t let anything stop you
Success is yours to achieve
All you have to do is set your heart to it and believe
You can change the world
So do take the initiative
But also always remember you need to be strong first
Intelligence and power comes with responsibility (in this world)
Let your passion guide you
And allow your imagination to soar
You were meant to do great things
Never ever sell yourself short
Go change this world
It belongs to those who dare
If you have will and determination
You can achieve anything no matter how rare
This world is filled with people who need heros
Go out there and reach out to them
And give them hope
Give them an opportunity at a better world
And stop people from getting lost in the fold
Go out there and make a difference
In your own life and in other people’s life as well
You were meant to do great things
Do not let anything stop you
Believe in yourself
And the world will believe in you
Song Five
Life You Will Always Be Such A Mystery
[Chorus]
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
[Stanza 1]
God what were you thinking when you created us
Are we just your mere pawns?
Why can we be so easily be broken?
Why do we face heartbreak?
Why is pain and sorrow part of our life?
You have the resource of the universe
At your disposal when you are creating us
You can create incredible beauty
And life can be beautiful
Then why is there so much pain and misery in this world?
[Chorus]
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
[Stanza 2]
You tell us happiness is the way of life
Then why is it such a fleeting thing
Why does it not last?
Why is It transient
Why can’t we capture happiness and make it ours forever
Why do you feel we need to know unhappiness?
In order to recognize and enjoy happiness
Trust me when I say this
I do not need unhappiness to recognize happiness
Let happiness be my permanent companion
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
[Stanza 3]
This life is a tough journey
The paths we take are unknown
And filled with uncertainty
Why can’t we have little more certainty in our lives
Why should future be such a huge question mark
Give us some clue about the paths we endeavor
Just like the clouds in the sky warn us about the rainfall
Just like the lightening before the thunderstorm
Give us some clue about our destination
So that we are not scared about life
[Chorus]
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
[Stanza 4]
Why is loss part of our life?
Why is loss an inevitable thing?
If loss is supposed to be part of our life
Then why do you put people in our lives in the first place
Why do you give us attachment
Why do you make us care?
Why do you give us these feelings
Where we cannot let go
Feelings that makes loss so unbearable
Please do not give us this attachment and love
If loss is supposed to be the ultimate thing from above
[Chorus]
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
[Stanza 5]
Love is a strange feeling
It can be source of both pain and ecstasy
If something is capable of giving us so much joy
Then why do you make it a source of pain too?
Why is love such an elusive thing
Is it destiny?
Our loves in life
Why is it predetermined?
Are we destined to be in each other’s life from before?
If so why can’t it be a permanent cycle of happiness?
Why is something that can be source of so much love and happiness?
Can also be bearer of so much pain?
What kind of world is this?
What kind of life is this?
[Chorus]
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
