Our Time
The most valuable asset we have we waste
  The most valuable asset we have we spend in haste
  I know a man who dying of a chronic illness, ask him of the problems he has faced
  He is paralyzed from his feet to his waist
  On the epic poem of the Universe, he is soon to be erased
  If he could just taste
  The time that you have on your hands
  You have the ability to do anything at your mind's command
  Now some of you have your entire lives planned
  But when your hourglass is down to its last grain of sand
  The only the thing that matters is the legacy you created
  The memories you made and the conflicts you debated
  So expand your horizons
  Don't squander your time pressing buttons on a black remote that says "Verizon"
  Be a risin' star and make your presence visible from afar
  Enjoy every second like its your last
  Here's comes cliched message, but the truth is that lives moves fast
  Way too fast
  Don't let it pass
  Don't live in the past
  I don't care if you were harassed
  Move on
  Because the future is waiting, the opportunities are vast
  It is imperative to cherish every second
  Live in the present and learn from your lessons
  Life is a big bowl of rice
  Enjoy every grain
  Enjoy all the smiles and learn from the pain
  Enjoy all the sunshines and enjoy all the rain
  Don't flush your time down the drain
  Be one among the wise men
  Live in the now and not in the then
  Enjoy the time that you will never get again.
