To compare what's been lost
with what's been gained
Is to ask what's been missed
with what was attained
If defeat is victory in disguise
And life is but an empty dream
Where is the room for pride
In the days idly spent
Thinking about our good intent
We've wasted time
Let enjoyment turn to sorrow
Just to face it again tomorrow
Let us then be up and doing
Keep achieving and pursuing
Heart in a God overhead
Letting the past bury it's dead
Like footprints in the sand of time
We can live our lives sublime
Elevated impressing the mind
With a sense of grandeur and power
inspiringly in awe
Things are not always
what they seem
And life is not an empty dream
Time is fleeting
while hearts are beating
Beating to the tone of any fate
Beating to learn and to wait
While angels gather their wings
with interest in our fate
Like the flower needing the sun to grow
A dream never ending is your soul
With all this said it's still the same
In all our lives it's either
Loss or gain
