The One Who Comes Has To Go
From the moment we're born,
Our journey's set in stone,
For we all must depart,
And leave this world alone.
We may live a long life,
Or depart before our prime,
But in the end, we know,
That we're running out of time.
The one who comes must go,
It's the way it's always been,
So, we must cherish each moment,
And hold our loved ones tight within.
For life is but a fleeting thing,
A brief moment in the sun,
And though we must say goodbye,
Our legacy will live on.
So let us live our lives with purpose,
And love with all our hearts,
For though we cannot stay forever,
Our memories will never depart.
