Analysis of life as we know it
dan lambrix 1962 (highland park)
Life as we know it...
There needs to be reasons to get up in the morning...
You know life cant be just about solving problems, otherwise, what is the point?...
There's got to be things that people find inspiring each day...
And make life more worth living...
I wish there were more things that gave us pleasure...
Lets make things that somebody loves...
You have to be optimistic about the future...
There's no point in being pessimistic, it's to negative...
What can we do to make the future better...
That's what we should strive for...
It might sound corny but love is the answer...
I think people should be nicer to each other...
Feel the sun on your face at sunrise, smile and say it's going to be a great day!!!
