Do it Again
for Erik Anders
All of these years and all of this pain
Must mean something somehow to someone
When it is over what will remain?
One thing ended another begun
Up in the morning to do it again
There is more to life than what we see
I wish I could tell you about it
But I am too old now to explain
Death and would rather live without it
Mortality is reality
More real than the kind we think about
The not to be which follows to be
The reality we drink about
Against which we make up stories to
Try to make ourselves feel better and
Try to justify the things we do
If we fail to try to understand
That we are each an experiment
A miracle and an adventure
And usually a marathon
To go to show how far we can go
We go to show just how far we went
To remember us just how we were
Who if we are not were even so
Who may be forgotten but not gone
And it will mean something to someone
All of these years and all of this pain
When it is over what will remain
One thing ended another begun
Up in the morning to do it again
