As Good As It Gets.

What if, this right here right now...

Is As Good As It Gets !

Will you rest your head content...

As the evening sun slowly sets.

Would you change your life in an instant.

If you were aware you were running out of time.

Or would you allow yourself to sink within the ship...

Pretending to everyone that everything was fine.

What if, this right here right now...

Is As Good As It Gets !

Will you bare a heart of wonder...

Over all of your regrets ?

If you were to meet your maker.

And explain of your life through.

Would it be an adventurous masterpiece...

Or a tale so very blue.

What if, this right here right now...

Is As Good As It Gets !

Have you left a legacy to be remembered ?

Or will you be one they so easily forget.

Will the tale of your story...

Be one that suited everybody but yourself ?

Or was it you that took control.

As more than a puppet on a shelf.

There is no time to waste in this life.

So please do not forget.

Do what makes YOU happy.

For what if...

This Is As Good As It Gets !
