Life Is Worth Our While

Life Is Worth Our While

Life is worth our while

I just want to say
I know you had to go away
I know you want us to smile
Life is worth our while
It's all worth our while.

So then I got to thinking.
As my happiness was sinking.
Thought to tell you now.
Since I'm going down.
Do you know what to say?
When it doesn't feel like it's worth the wait.
Don't hate.
Life is worth our while.
It's all worth our while.

Singlehanded sours.
I want to end the showers.
Of the fleeting dying powers.
As my body hits the floor.
Heaven and Hell don't keep score.
Life is worth our while. For sure.
It's all worth our while.

Why not waste it?
No one asked for this.
Those enjoying it, are fakers.
Especially when you can't take it.
Life is worth our while.
Isn't it.
It's all worth our while.

Now let's go back.
You're not ready to stay young.
You're not ready to go along.
But you've got to keep strong.
Just keep pushing, will you get far?
But let's think about this,
maybe you're not ready for a final destiny.
Eternity of fear.
Eternity of tears.
Not yet ever knowing the other side to be.
Eternity of truth.
Eternity of Innocence.
Eternity of youth.
That's what heaven and hell are folks. Eternities of the destined.

So if, your not ready.
Where do you go?
The one place eternity doesn't show.
Life, my friend.
Just for you.
No one watching, make your move.
Your own style.
Before eternity catches up with you.
Run a mile.
Build a rock pile.
Find time to relax, unrile.
Your life is on dial.
After all this is you...
Life is worth your while.
