BY JAY WELLER
NOW, YOU’RE BORN, AND YOU DIE
YOU BREATHE, THEN YOU CRY
YOU LIE, THEN YOU CRAWL
AND YOU’RE SMALL, THEN YOU’RE TALL
BUT NO, THAT’S NOT ALL…
BECAUSE YOU RAGE AND YOU ROAR
YOU ENGAGE AND YOU BORE
YOU BEND AND YOU SNAP
YOU BREAK AND COME BACK
YOU HURT AND YOU HEAL
YOU FIGHT AND YOU KNEEL
YOU STAND AND YOU FALL
BUT NO, THAT’S NOT ALL…
BECAUSE YOU HATE AND YOU LOVE
YOU PULL AND YOU SHOVE
YOU TAKE AND YOU LUST
YOU BREAK AND YOU BUST
YOU CRY AND YOU CRAWL
YOU STAND AND YOU FALL
AND YOU’RE TALL THEN YOU’RE SMALL
BUT NO, THAT’S NOT ALL…
