Lyrics:

Life is uncertain,
this much we know.
We look for our light
or see the light we’re shown.

Who rows the boat?
What is the shore? 
Are we brave enough to raise our hands
and admit that we’re not sure?

When life gives death meaning,
and the other way around.
What does silence sound like,
in a world with no sound?
Can you picture happiness,
without bittersweet finesse?
Life goes both ways -
first a little left then right,
it’s the day that comes before the night.

So chill, relax,
let go,
sit back.

You will, infact 
be lying one day on your back,
and that day will be your last one,
and then you’re done
on a sunny day…

The grip of fear and loneliness
is a strife we all endure.
Be brave; do not despair
for in love! - lies the cure.  

Existence is a miracle,
don’t forget that on the way.
And you won’t be surprised, when it’s your time -
to greet your dying day.   

But laugh and dance and sing
you’ll see that everything.
That’s ever caused us sorrow
is forgotten by tomorrow.
Take it all in your stride
and do it with a smile :)
Even when the going’s tough
it’ll all be over soon enough!


So chill, relax,
let go,
sit back.

It’s fun, it’s sad, 
it’s everything and all we have.
Take it in and if you can,
have fun.
It will be undone,
and that’s okay.
