juxtaposition (new version)

Don't count every hour in the day
As you laugh, someone cries,
as you live, somebody dies
While you rejoice other mourn
Some love while some hate
One will fall as one will rise

Judged by appearance, and misspoken words,
Not the content of one's character, just by what you heard
No man can learn the value of his life without feeling pain.
yet, no human deserves a life of pain.

Feel the fire from our hearts, the flames of our desires
Let us praise the colonizers of dreams
it's the risk of failure that makes life worth living
For no one is setting a path for us to follow,
determined to find what we're searching for

Those days when life opened its new doors
Cause the simple moments they add up
like a shining sentiment where voices soar
Something no one could take from us

Some see the glass half empty,others half full
Define yourself by the choices you make
You decide it's your only way
Life is entanglement of juxtapositions
death is life's changing agent

Mislead and forced to serve for another's crooked faith
Like an angel's heart given flight by a demon
To weak think for ourselves
our opinions' , our inner voice's replaced by other's.
we become imprisoned by the dogmas of life
We sleepwalk our lives away.

Don't let the bitter fruit sour your breath or mind
Think positive don't loose faith
Only one book to write, yet countless stories to tell
There is only you, and you alone
Participate and contribute to society

Everyone is imperfect embrace flaws
they are what make you unique
Let your presence light in the hearts of everyone you meet
Never sell yourself sort, never settle
Be interested in everything and everybody

One can only connect the dots by looking into the past
Never regret if it's good it's wonderful; if it's bad it's experience
Learn and find strength from what remains behind

As the old to make way for the new
breathe easy my friend.
'cuz there is no escaping
breathe easy my friend.
as old to make way for the new
never give up, never let go of something you
can't go a day without thinking about
For it is the unsacrificed self that we must respect in man above all.

make every hour in the day count
