This Life

Starlight and roses, the smell of new rain,
Just a few things that take away pain.
The world is spinning and passing you by,
There is more to life than meets the eye.

Look a little closer and you will find,
A million memories left behind.
Glance in the mirror and you'll know it's true,
That someday, somehow you're going to love you.

So many people, so many faces,
Deep down you know you're going places.
So close your eyes to all the strife,
And pray to God you'll make it through this life.
