Peter Eksell - Life

We're happy that you survived
We want you to stay alive
And to show we care
Here's our thoughts and prayers

Exercise is too taxing
Relaxing is just what you need
It won't serve
You should eat potage
To lose your nerve
Get some Thai massage
To ease frustrations
Follow advice from doctors is wise
Except when they're all mistaken
Research online will not let you find the path less taken

Constant sadness
What you're after
Brings you down
Without laughter
Trying to make sense
Will make a difference
This is your only chance

You will be left alone
You alone
In your comfort zone
In zone
With no expectations
Expectations
Who knows what you will find
Who will find
If you leave behind
Behind
All your reservations
Reservations

Eat some ginger
But my cousin, if he doesn't eat them by the baker's dozen
Turmeric
He'll be sick
Cure your ailment
Homeopath dilutions
That's the trick
Is the best solution
Drinking will do the trick
Life, Life

Maybe this is not as easy as you think
Maybe you should go and have a drink
Or two
Maybe you're not really tough enough
You'll fall over from a simple puff
You will never make it out alive
You won't survive
Is this what you fear?

Fear of damnation
A promised salvation
It sounds nice, this Facebook advice
Peace of mind is so hard to find

There's no antidote
in celebrity quotes
If you look at the odds
You should pray to your gods

There's no hope, and justice is blind
A good heart is so hard to find
I'm finished! I'm done!
Might as well swallow a gun

What you want, is a solid bet
But it's difficult to get
Moping around and let it drag you down
Just makes sure it won't be found
Half-hearted prayers
Won't get you anywhere
It's sink or swim
The alternative is grim

This is your life, life
You won't get another
You got to strive, thrive
Oh, it's such a drag
You can never relax
You got to live it to the max

Live your life like there's no tomorrow
You will find there's no time for sorrow
This is the only one, only one
You ain't got no time to waste

This is your life, life
You won't get another
You got to strive, thrive
Hear me, brother!
You ain't getting another
Got to fight to stay alive

Think of the things you will never see
It's a shame, you must agree
If you give up
You'll never reach the top
It's sink or swim
The alternative is grim
This is the only one, only one
You ain't got no time to waste

It's the final dance
You just get one chance
Better make the most of it

Live your life like there's no tomorrow
You will have no time for sorrow
You just got one chance
You got to take your chance to have a happy life
