There's a time to come and go,
Finding every moment to live;
And be with reasons for evermore,
You can share what you can give.
What you have you learn to know,
Use it wisely to be always sure,
For every step is in peace and war.
There's a song that you can sing,
Feelings of freedom in its ways;
Love and passion spinning 'round,
Every mood along there plays.
Hear the sweetness in its days,
Anything lost again may be found,
And to your heart closeness bring.
With your love don't ever give up,
You have roads to walk on through;
Times will flow and they might stop,
Be crisscrossing from the very afar.
Don’t be unwise or become untrue,
Without a reason to give and take,
For every step is in peace and war.
