Life is precious

Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)

Ballad
life is precious
than pieces of silver
so never say never
life is precious
but evil people
makes it dangerous
don't pay attention
to the scornful
if you really want
to be successful
life is not a race
but you need a pace
life is not a fight
know your right
and responsibilities
for we are here to
fulfill our duties
how you think
Is who you are
so never say never
What you do
Is who you are
so never say never
but live up to
your highest expectation
for till the end
you don't know
our destination
reducing errors
and living perfection
life is precious
so never say never
