Analysis of Never This Way Again



Never This Way Again

If we are caught in life with a situation so cruel
That jeopardize our senses not to stay cool
Always be guarded and guided by universal rule
Rational humans are made and  we're not a helpless mule

Lets all be mindful and aware to help ourselves to be well
Dare not to be like a drift wood to end up
in fire like hell
Lets all triumph in life with the help of God He's there to tell
His angels were sent to us every side with a ringing bell

Rattled from life's dismay that will not make us grow and ponder
Never dwell in anger that makes us like a fool desk-pounder
We know where our life is, just let go the pain of thunder
Life is just like a long thread different from one another

Different people with life's story and lessons we heard
Lets all steadfast in prayer we dont know the end of thread
No rewind to pass this life story again God has mend
We have to give back our soul and spirit He has
