Give every word,
not holding back
one little thing.
Give every breath,
not seeking to conserve.
Spend every effort,
not even looking for a pause.
Just want to make this
dream come true.
They gave us sawdust
and called it “Wood.”
They gave us stardust
and called it “God.”
They gave us ashes
and called it “Fire.”
But we knew
they were all liars.
Coming from the dark
into the light
is going to take
everything
Gaining more
thane one day
at a time
is impossible.
When I say
I would give it all
for one more day
with you,
I mean it
with all my heart and soul.
They gave us sawdust,
and we built a home.
They gave us stardust,
yet we found God.
They gave us ashes,
and we will always remember
the ones
that came before.
It’s okay to want
one more day,
as we have given everything
to make this life,
and I
would do it all again.
Give everything
for one
more day
with you.
