Live & Learn - The Cardigans

Life is like walking by the beach.
You may reach the end,
But the beauty is in the journey,
Which was always near and within reach.

Trusting is like flying a kite
Letting go bit by bit to fly high
But the strings can be pulled back
When in calls of distress.

Believing is like knowing that stars exist
They are hard to see indefinitely
But you know its out there at least
And you dont need to prove it is

Hope is like watching a bud grow
Out of a crack in a rock
No matter life's tribulations
There is always causes for celebrations

Faith is like being handed a caterpillar
When you asked for a butterfly
Its not about the initial being
Its about believing in time, in the unseen

Gratitude is like a warm afternoon on a spring day
There's only a finite warm afternoons to go
Appreciate all that comes and may
For time is moments ago.

Love is like a musical note
It plays the most beautiful tunes when played right
It is a something to be learnt with patience
Love isnt rushed, it is about relations.

Peace is like watching the young play
Its knowing that peace is attainable
From the simplest things measurable.

And with all that is there for humanity
What everyone needs is humility
For no one can be alone
No one can themselves atone
For mistakes that are there.
Humans are all but bare.
Reach out for time is scarce
Believe if you must.
Cos' all we need is hidden in moments
Miss it, and its gone forever.
