It is not less than a parade
This daily walk of life
People of different back grounds
Some cheering and some battling a strife
The world is mixed with different people
It is better not to try to understand them
The one who looks and behaves ugly
Might actually be a hidden gem
Survival of the fittest
Seems to be the key here
We just have to get past each day
Either with a smile or a tear
Life is a wonderful journey
The least we can do is live it right
Enjoy the blue of the vast sky above
Bask in the sun shining bright
Ignore those who do not matter
Live your life the way you want to
Paint your canvas with the colors you want
Red, green and yellow or a hint of blue
Have the hunger to achieve something great
And the insatiable thirst for knowledge
Take some risks and learn from it
At times you need to live on the edge
You don't need to do something big
Make sure today is better than yesterday
The trick lies within yourself
When the sun shines, learn to make hay
Love someone, it gives you strength
Have a family, it gives you purpose
You can choose to be a clown or a ring master
In life's great royal circus
Stay calm and finish this race with pride
Do not bother about the grade
People shall walk in and out of your life
Like I said before, life is like a parade
