Living And Loving
by Paul McCann

I wish this had never began
but I’m running as fast as I can
and I’ll keep on believing that somehow
I am part of a much bigger plan .

I’ll continue along
with the carrying on
and I'll hope for the best
as I'm catching my breath
in this race somewhere
between life and death .

I’ll give all that I have
until there is nothing left
at all for me to give
and I’ll never complain
about hardship or pain ever again
just as long as I live .

Living And loving all that we can
is what I believe is the plan
for each woman and man ,
just simply
living and loving all that we can .

I’m trying again and again
and I’m hoping that things
will work out
and I won’t give up
and I won’t give in
and I won’t let myself ever doubt .

I’ll keep asking and praying
for a break even thought it never comes
I’ll keep smiling back
as long as there’s blood in my veins that warmly runs .

I’m not looking back
for there’s no point in that ,
its full steam straight up ahead .
I’m not letting hurt ever confuse me
as long as I keep living
and loving instead

Living And Loving
all that we can
is what I believe is the plan
for each woman and man ,
just simply
living and loving all that we can .
