Life Was Made For Dying
Kings were made for ruling;
But you never thought you could.
Dreams were made for dreaming;
But a dragon took yours to the grave.
Promises were made for keeping;
But you break yours everyday.
Faith was made for hoping;
But yours faded into gray.
Hearts were made for loving;
But yours is hard and cold.
Tears were made for crying;
But yours have run dry.
Wings were made for flying;
But you let yours rot away.
Life was made for dying;
But you have to live it just the same.
