I'm only here for a little while
Treat me kindly and I will do the same for you

Listen when I need to be heard
And I will listen to you

Don't shut me out of your emotions
There is no hurt that can hurt worse than this

We all think our time here is endless
We need to live it like it's not

Words spoken in anger can hurt for a lifetime
And a lifetime may not be enough to make amends

Not all roads are long and scenic
But all roads can lead to love

Take joy in the simplicity of the world that surrounds you
For it is more complex than you know

The spirit will soar when it's wings are ready
And it is not ours to name the hour or day that we go
