We only live once


 When were young we live so happy care free

thinking how nothing can hurt us 

we get tucked in at night with a kiss goodnight 

As time goes by we start to see that what used to be was more of a fantasy 

No more trick or treat on Halloween 

no more goodnight kiss from mommy

We have goals to meet a schedule you see

Always trying to beat the clock 

We live like from block to block

Trying to figure out who you are 

Thats where the trouble tends to start 

Go out they say 

Have fun they say 

No wait you cant 

now your

Siting on the bathroom floor years gone by

Your not sure who you are anymore 

Once as young and free 

Now many years have pasted by 

Still many more yet to come 

Before you fine what you'll become
