A/N and Disclaimer: These lyrics were written in the style of Johnathan Larson - as if Roger Davis were alive and actually writing songs for all of us to enjoy. But since we all know he's a fictional character, then we also know that (even though these lyrics are to be taken in reference to Roger) this song still belongs to Maggie. Also as a reviewer was so kind as to point out, a line in this song is similar to a line in the movie iSimply Ballroom/i. Please don't take without permission and do not remove this disclaimer.



Half-Lived

I used to think, protection will get me through
Now I know that's not true
Live is meant to be lived
Hiding behind a facade, cop-out
Be someone, not a nobody

Refrain:
A life half lived, life in fear
Isn't worth the time
Half truths, half lies
Nothing counts

Each day, each emotion, something new learned
Make the most of it
Reach out to someone
Human connection, faith
That's what the world needs

Refrain:
A life half lived, life in fear
Isn't worth the time
Half truths, half lies
Nothing counts

Fear isn't a righteous dictate, it is empty
The shell won't protect
Friendship will
Live in society, make a difference
Life is meant to be lived

Refrain: x2
A life half lived, life in fear
Isn't worth the time
Half truths, half lies
Nothing counts

A life lived in fear is a life half lived
Make the most of what you have
Be yourself
Oh, Live
