Untitled

Closing off doors
Holding hands
Crying out loud
Taking a stand

Saying, "Hallelujah!"
Jumping to shout
Isn't this what life is all about?

Scrambling for work
Looking for fun
Making it happen
'Til it's all said and done

Being afraid
Being unsure
Teaching your loved ones how to endure

What is this thing?
This thing that we're in?
When do we let life finally begin?

Why do we stop?
Where do we begin
To let the world know
We're in it again?
