At Journey's End

I think and I do
I work and I hope
I live and I dream
But alas, how arrogant am I
As I am at journey's end
The next second belongs not to me

I pray for heaven and I seek forgiveness
I cherish the moment and I enjoy my blessings
I love all and hope to be loved
But alas, how arrogant am I
As I am at journey's end
The next second belongs not to me

I cry when I am sad
I laugh when I am happy
I shout when I am angry
But alas, how arrogant am I
As I am at journey's end
The next second belongs not to me

I know now
I am merely a soul
I exist not because of me
But alas, when realization struck me
As I am at journey's end
The next second will never be up to me
