they came to the gates
pleading for imprisonment
for the mercy of chance
for the cruelty of luck
for the prize of being priced
their minds priced
their smiles priced
their voices priced
so wonderfully priced
and upon purchase,
they found
victory

worth every byte it takes up in your PC.
worth every second it takes to finish the song.
worth the strain to hear every word.

Song: Life is Wonderful
Artist: Jason Mraz
VERSE 1
It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some word to make an action
And It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
CHORUS 1
La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la ...
VERSE 2
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
CHORUS 2
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is so...
VERSE 3
It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
CHORUS 3
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la love is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la...
It is so wonderful
It is so meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful, meaningful
Full circle, wonderful...
pieces stop pieces that come from different places build the story of my life stop separate pieces stop pieces that don't know each other stop pieces that are unique from one another stop pieces that merge only in the context that they form who i am stop yes pieces stop so many pieces stop i wish i could let them all know each other stop but that's pretty hard stop because stop there are certain barriers stop there are limitations stop and although in life stop people acknowledge that there are places that they've never been to stop they sometimes choose not to venture there stop so they stop stop and at that point stop while you are with them stop you have to stop too stop because stop you stop can't force them stop and it's unfair stop to expect more than acceptance stop because stop acceptance is already stop so much stop so stop at that point stop you just stop stop stop and maybe stop hope that some stop day stop the pieces stop will find their own stop ways stop to learn stop of the other pieces stop and stop then you wouldn't stop have to stop anymore
here's to blogs--
for the lazy summer mornings
for the caffeine-driven nights
for the slow burn of the retina
for the love of being heard
for the exhausted abandon
for the life inside our heads,
finally born
cheers.
