We Must Live Not Just Exist

Whirling in the mist
we must live
not just exist.

Making grown up choices
Doing adult deeds.
Life is very delicate
Can we meet our needs?

Whirling in the mist
we must live
not just exist.

Worried for the future
It has to be better than the past.
Have we found our ever after?
Can we make it last?

Whirling in the mist
we must live
not just exist.

Tempted by nostalgia.
Held hostage by fear.
Must make the right decision
The end of  the year is drawing near.

Whirling in the mist
we must live
not just exist.

Can't go on like this forever
Can't keep clinging to what won't last
It's alright to live your own life and
remove yourself from the past.

Whirling in the mist
we must live
not just exist.

Guilt, fear and anger
in their grasps lie the danger
don't let them win your inner war
Turn on the light show them the door.

Whirling in the mist
we must live
not just exist.
