THE LIFE WE LEAD

Val Cabral

Lyric
As the days go by, we stop and ponder
Is our life a whirlwind of deep emotions?
Filled with anxiety, stress and wonder
Can we have more moments of joy and love potions

Our borrowed time on earth
Needs to be miraculous and treasured
With happy moments turned into days and months
Of love, health and happiness.
Val Cabral
