There are no guarantees in life,
there is no assurance,
that the good things you have will remain,
that you will be protected from all pain.
There are no guarantees in life,
there is no promise,
that the dreams you dream will come true,
that you will have the life you pursue.
So take each day as it comes,
and seize each moment that is yours,
dance in the rain if you could,
bask in the sun if you would.
Don’t hold back the love you must give,
and learn to forget and forgive;
cry if you must yet don’t forget to laugh,
lift up your eyes and see the stars up above.
There are no guarantees in life,
so let go of your fears,
this is the day to live,
with all that you hold dear!
