It's Really Up To You
When people ask what is the meaning of life, I say living,
and it’s true.
The life God,
or your parents,
or the stork on the window sill
gave you
was given to be used.
But I still think the meaning of life is much too complicated
to be given a specific cause.
It has a kaleidoscope of meaning,
ever changing,
never paused.
And even further, I would dare, to venture that
just one meaning of life is silly,
and absolutely no fun at that.
So how about we try this:
what is the meaning of your life,
tell me what it aught to be.
But that’s no good,
because we spend our lives looking for it ourselves
you see.
So hows about we try another question or two:
what is the meaning you WANT to give to your life,
because it’s really up to you.
