We need to see the beauty
In every passing day
We need to feel the harmony
Before we pass away

We can't live just for mourning
The loss of all who've passed
We have to live right now, right here
Must somehow make it last

And while we're here we have to live
And love and laugh and cry
And when we hurt we have to give
This life another try

Look down and see the flowers
Look up and see the stars
Look outside the pain and see
The beauty that is ours

Turn the pain around
Turn the fear aside
Turn your mind to see the Light
Let Love and Peace preside

Say I am fulfilled with
A Forever sense of Time
And one day, it will happen
There'll be life beyond these rhymes
