Let's Go Live

I've lived my life,
sometimes it seemed long,
sometimes it seemed brief.

I did some crazy things,
they made me laugh,
they made you laugh too.
I tried to be a friend,
but could never compare to you.

All of you have MADE my life,
and so have lived with me throughout it all.
For that I thank you!

NOW DO AS I SAY. . .
Live life,
carry me with you,
I'll be there,
next time you go crazy,
next time you need a friend,
I'm there!
I'm with you on land,
I'm with you on the sea,
Just think of a bad penny,
there's no getting rid of me.
So please, stop crying,
I'm bored of grief,
Put me on your shoulder,
Let's go live.
