Experiences form us
Travels deepen us
Rest raises us
Joy elevates us
Life leaves its mark
The good and the bad
Live leaves its mark
For them both I am glad
Loves expand us
Families lift us
Pains strengthen us
Hurts build us
Life leaves its mark
The good and the bad
Live leaves its mark
For them both I am glad
Fears bore into us
Friends heighten us
Life marks us
Life makes us
Life leaves its mark
The good and the bad
Live leaves its mark
For them both I am glad
