Lyrics
Sooner than later
Your life will be the past
Nobody knows what's after
There is no second chance
By nature or design
Whichever you prefer
We only get one life
This I know for sure
?So, when one door closes
Don't you hesitate
Why try to pry it open
When a thousand more await
??
Life is like a poem
An ode to everything
And you conduct the orchestra
That makes your story sing
Your life is today
Your life is here and now
Be who you're supposed to be
And never have a doubt
That you are the ode to everything
We are the ode to everything
Life is an ode to everything
It's easy to repress
Who you truly are
But an unexamined life
Will never get you far
Life is just too brief
To live another's dreams
Yours are just as valuable
However it may seem
No one knows what's coming
None of us can see
But if you can be yourself
There's hope for you and me
Life is like a poem
An ode to everything
And you conduct the orchestra
That makes your story sing
Your life is today
Your life is here and now
Be who you're supposed to be
And never have a doubt
That you are the ode to everything
We are the ode to everything
Life is an ode to everything
So, when one door closes
Don't you hesitate
Why try to pry it open
When a thousand more await
??
Life is like a poem
An ode to everything
And you conduct the orchestra
That makes your story sing
Your life is today
Your life is here and now
Be who you're supposed to be
And never have a doubt
That you are the ode to everything
We are the ode to everything
Life is an ode to everything
Oh, your life is an ode to everything
