One Life

Here for but a second in the scope of Eternity
Each of us Ever fading into the abyss of Time
One Life, One small amount of time to live

For What Purpose?
To gain knowledge, respect or wealth?
Is not life more than those empty things?

In the span of all time we are each but a breath
Falling from existence like a shooting star
One Life, One small amount of time to live

For What Reason?
Are we here to live for today indulging in mindless thrills?
Are we not capable to see how unsatisfied they leave us?

Time brings death closer as our lives dwindle away
We are forgotten in this world, Leaving as we Came
One Life, One small amount of time to live

For what is Life?
Is not God the one who made all things?
Who Gave us life? Who will bring death?
Is not life made for the created to Glorify the Creator?
