The game
Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)
Life
No word has been so misrepresented
Life is beauty, love, laugh and sex
Or so they say at least
life is finding love
life is to find laughter
life is to find meaning in life
Or so they say at least
Some tell me life is a chore
life drains out all the hope from a mans heart
or beats him down until he can't walk
But that is what they tell me
Life is none of it
It is a game
something which never can be taken serious
it is no more choice to live, than for the waves to climb the beaches or for the leaves to dance in the wind on a sunny autumn morning
No one agreed to be born
Life came to us, we did not came to life
So don't take it so serious
