The Reason To Live
What was the root of it all?
I can't really say...
What's the meaning of life anyway?
Is it to bend or to bow
to live or to die
Is all those things we lift inside
Is it back down when our world was one block wide
When my brother pushed me to hard on the swing
And I fell down and cried
Is it the people who left
Or the ones that I miss
Is all those damn hotties I forgot to kiss
Is it back when I ran butt naked through the house
Or maybe something deep down I don't want to talk about
Is it a father or mother?
A sister or daughter?
All those failed tests or the mountains I conquered?
Is it it the people I meet
The video games I beat
Climbing trees and running through creeks
Till it was time to eat?
Hey, remember when I finally could jump up and touch the ceiling?
I was so darn proud!
Man, I love that feeling!
Is it back when I used to meet my girlfriend in her garage
Or when I got caught by her father getting the hell out of dodge?
Hey brother! I know you're not always going to be around
But we're there for each other and we'll always be bound!
I swear I'll always love ya!
You're rooted in my heart!
I'll be damned if I couldn't find ya even in the dark!
Maybe that's what I need!
Living life to the fullest with my family and me!
I think I finally found what I've been needing to see!
It's being with the ones you love
loughing louder than above
singing soaring like a dove!
It's loving what you do
Countless family and friends embracing you!
And as long as this is true
I swear life I love you!
