they say “seize the day”
they say “everything is going to be okay”
but those people have never been in love
those people have never had to die
so i cry

because so many things go unresolved
so many things go unseen
so i hold on to the hope of so many unfinished dreams

the man sitting on the moon says it’s okay to have regrets
the woman who has conquered doom says it’s okay to lose bets
the people who have lived
and tried
and failed in the process

the ones without the unfinished dreams say it’s okay
because if you leave this life with so much undone
so many battles that you haven’t won
it is okay

because just around the riverbend
the spot where you thought everything had to end
someone will pick it up
take your dream
and live it all over
again
