Drink Life
Hello, yes you, are you listening?
Why are your eyes so glistening?
Is that glee, or are you hiding your tears?
Come on, you can tell me, no fears.
Are you tired, are you waiting for somebody?
Look around; there is nobody.
Get up and delve inside you,
It's only you, waiting for you.
The world is cruel but still beautiful
It's up to you if you make the rule.
Look at life, live every moment,
Quench your thirst, and drink it to the fullest.
