It’s a battle that you’re destined to lose” “After all, you’ve got to Live in life, and leave the dying to the dead ’Cause you can’t outrun the wind You’ll just be running out of breath instead of Living life without regret, so you can see what lies beyond The border when you’re gone” Death has no favorite child He visits those who wait And he visits those who ought to have a while But fighting fate has a price Disturbing the order of things Means you need to make a sacrifice “In the end, you’ve got to Live in life, and leave the dying to the dead What’s the point of sinking down in dread and losing hope When you could go and keep on Living life without regret, So you can see what lies beyond The border when you’re- Gone is gone, so make the most of what you’ve got You should have a little fun Before your body turns to rot, so go and Live your life without regrets, Or you won’t see what lies beyond The border when you’re gone”
