What is your life about?
What is your heart saying?
If you have a moment,
Please stop and listen
Just give me this minute
I’ll not ask for another second

Its not who shares a laugh,
Its not about who shares the fun.
Who holds you when you cry?
Who waits all night till the tears dry?
It’s easy when your happy
Who stays when it is hard?

Its not who comes to the party
Who stays to pick up the crumbs?
Everyone plays the music,
But who sings your song?
When even you forget,
Who remembers your tune?

It’s not the person who is celebrated
It’s the person behind the celebration
Who have you forgotten?
Who have you shut out?
What are you willing to give up?
Who are you willing to let go?

When you cannot stand anymore
Who is the reason you stand your ground
And when the last blow knocks you down
Who stoops down to break your fall?
When your heart is in a thousand pieces
Who picks you up and tends to the bruises?

It’s not what you give up
Its the 'Who' you've given up
Be certain its worth it
For whatever its worth
Some moments come once, and
Some hearts refuse to be broken twice

You run after a life, but
Who makes you feel alive?
When you race after success
Who races with you, so
When you reach the end
What matters is who holds your hand
