Before You Die
Before You Die
There comes a time when we all will fade
Some of us are ready, some are afraid
There is no secret about our death
But what will we say with our final breath
Will you be proud of the life you will leave
Will you be happy with what you have achieved
Will you hate yourselves for failure and defeat
Will you curse others for not being complete
I have a philosophy, and it is this:
Never declare that you are in bliss
Until you have made a success for the Earth
Until you have contributed something of worth
There comes a time when we all will fade
Some of us are ready, some are afraid
There is no secret about our death
But what will we say with our final breath
Will you be proud of the life you will leave
Will you be happy with what you have achieved
Will you hate yourselves for failure and defeat
Will you curse others for not being complete
I have a philosophy, and it is this:
Never declare that you are in bliss
Until you have made a success for the Earth
Until you have contributed something of worth
