Your own life goes

Only you can decide

Your own life goes

Every time I look,

I see death in the mirror

And every time I look

Death seems a little clearer

So, I don’t know what to do

The thread of my life is wearing thin

It’s only a matter of time

Before it’s over and through

But before I go, I want the world to know

That I’ve walked through the fire,

That I’ve walked through the snow

And the truth is you’re the only one

Who can direct in which direction your life will go.
