this is required

this life is required for you to live

in all of the storms you will find yourself again and love will bring you home

this life is required for you to love

in all of the pain you will find the softest souls will stay at your side

this life is required for you to dream

in all confusion you will find absolute clarity in the mundane

in all these silent moments and empty rooms you are required to be, be, just be 

you're required to change, required to keep existing when you can't find another day 

required to watch that time, as slow as it is you are required to stay
