LIFE as we know it

We pop out of darkness and into the light
Still only squinting, oh what a fright
We lay in our cribs, adjusting our body
Squirming and murmuring all of the time,
But when we sleep, we sleep just fine.

As we grow and prosper, we begin a new
Sure we live life, but not for just you.
We lay in our beds, adjusting our body
As days go by, we make friends and earn loved ones,
But when we sleep, in our head, only problems.

We are old and feeble now, living to spite
Death has a grip, and is leading the fight.
We lay in our coffin, still and at peace
Together we’ll sing hymns, laughing for all time
We no longer sleep, because watching's just fine.
