The world keeps on spinning,

The world keeps on spinning,

Faster than we can run.

And time keeps on turning,

As days turn into years.

When a lifetime is uncertain,

Or the world spins too fast,

Live in each moment,

As if it were your last. 

And when at any second,

You could take your final breath,

Let the constellations that swirl through your mind,

Shine brightly for all to see. 

 And read the poems written in your heart,

The metaphors engraved in your bones.

Because life's too short for words unsaid,

Or to fear the words that define you.  

And the world keeps on spinning.

Our lives keep on changing.

So breathe in just for a moment.

Feel your chest rise and fall. 

Watch the dance between the sun and moon

As day gives way to night. 

And when you're caught in the eye of a storm,

Feel the way the rain rolls down your cheek.

Instead of just feeling wet.

And in those late days of autumn,

Revel in the scent of a fire 

As the warmth of burning wood, matches a crisp October breeze. 

Feel the way your heart beats with your favorite song.

And cherish life's every note. 

But when you feel cheated,

Hurt, or broken down. 

Remember that this world is temporary,

And the people are as well. 

So forgive those who've done you wrong,

And love with all of your heart. 

Because life's too short too kiss goodnight,

With the taste of yesterday's bitterness,

Still lingering on your lips .

And when death has a grip on a life cut short,

You'll wish you kissed a little longer.

And held on a little tighter. 

Because the world keeps on spinning,

Faster than we can run.

And time never stops,

Not for anyone.
