When you are young, a long trip it may seem.
Enough time to see it all, fill it with every dream.
Year after year, for you so many of them ahead.
An eternity it may seem, a million paths to tread.

But in reality, life is actually quite a short trip.
So don't waste a moment, not a minute to skip!
Enjoy the great moments, be generous and kind.
If a dark past haunts you, then leave it behind.

Look to the future, every new day to embrace.
Take on every challenge, that you have to face.
Give life your best shot, all regrets try to dismiss.
This journey is made once, please remember this.
