Your Fate

If you had an hour glass
to tell you when you'd die,
without doubt,
would you smash it to pieces
or let it run out ?

If there was a timekeeper
Somewhere up high
Looking down, deciding fate
Would you bribe him with your riches
or wait until it was too late?

Life is dust in the wind
Love is a rose
It will suffocate
or cut you
If you get too close

So run as fast as you can
Away from this place
Or you may actually have to
live up to your fate

If God was a person
just like you
who lived right next door
Would you give a cursory nod,
a smile?
Or would you offer so much more?

Life is dust in the wind
Love is a rose
It will suffocate
or cut you
If you get too close

So run as fast as you can
Away from this place
Or you may actually have to
live up to your fate

Because there's a someday for everyone
And it's never too late

More lyrics to a song than anything..

Reviews

[Nikhil Sharda]

I really liked it. Reflecting on it i can say that life does not require us to be consistent, cruel, patient, helpful, angry, rational, thoughtless, loving, rash, open-minded, neurotic, careful, rigid, tolerant, wasteful, rich, downtrodden, gentle, sick, considerate, funny, stupid, healthy, greedy, beautiful, lazy, responsive, foolish, sharing, pressured, intimate, hedonistic, industrious, manipulative, insightful, capricious, wise, selfish, kind or sacrificed. Life does, however, require us to live with the consequences of our choices

[McGee]

I agree. These do seem more like lyrics to a song.
