The scent is in the air
There’s gonna be a showdown
Life's in strife
Fires burn the sky
It’s not over, I can’t let go.

Something’s hushed….
A terror in the wind
zapping my energy and
sucking me in
Can’t let go
Won’t go under…

Feelings come and go but
etched into the memory they stay forever.

Is this me in this new reflection I see.
If you really want-death
Don't take me.

I breathe the same air as the sea.
To be one with the earth is what I strive to be
Then maybe I can go on.
You won’t have to put roses on my grave
I won’t let go, I choose to live
in love with the life
I choose to give.
