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
