Unless you learn to live and not survive,
Do what you want to do, say what you want to say,
Sleep at night knowing that you've seized the day,
Take all the world's beauty, let it dance at your side,
Teach your children how to live before they have died,
Fear the future, just around the corner may be death,
Don't let the word "regret" come before your final breath,
But there is no advice that I can give,
Other than to stop reading this poem, you have a life to live.

You can not claim to be alive,
Unless you learn to live and not survive,
Do what you want to do, say what you want to say,
Sleep at night knowing that you've seized the day,
Take all the world's beauty, let it dance at your side,
Teach your children how to live before they have died,
Fear the future, just around the corner may be death,
Don't let the word "regret" come before your final breath,
But there is no advice that I can give,
Other than to stop reading this poem, you have a life to live.
