The Spectrum

Issue date: 2/15/06 Section: Features

What more could we do if we chose not to die

What more could we see if we forgot we can't fly

What pain could we avoid if we chose to deny

All our regrets and push them aside

Here's to a life just to be lived

No worries of did things becoming un-did

And here's to a life that stems from such living

A Life that will forever just keep on giving

Here's to the people who make it happy and sad

And to those people who make it feel good and feel bad

To the ones who seem to not care at all

And those who have already begun a downfall

Here's to the ones who leave us all in their tracks

Here's to all those on who we have turned our backs

What could we do if we were all on one page

Using the same pen in quite different ways

But trying so badly to accomplish the same things

We could destroy the whole world and rebuild it in days

Here's to the people who still wonder why

And even to those who never gave it a try

To the thinkers and doers who care the most

Even those of us who don't thank our host

Here's to the people we know are holding us back

For all that they have, and that which we lack

May this be the song that calls in the man

The one who decides, 'I'll do what I can'
