Story Behind The Song
This is the last song on the life album, where our main character, which I guess has a little bit of me in him, summarizes the main lessons he's learned through his life.
Song Description
Title song to the album "Life". In my mind's eye I'm playing the piano with a symphony behind me, I captured that the best I can.

Lyrics
Life is more than just being alive
It's hopin' in your car just to go for a drive
It's climbin' up to the top of a hill for no reason at all.
Sometimes time seems to fly by
Other times it crawls, have you wondered why?
It's 'cause your waiting for things to come to you or doing nothing at all.
And I see clear through the time and all the years
All the laughter and the tears are what have made up my life
with my friends and my wife, the good times and the strife,
are my life.
Balance is the key to everything we do
You have to find out what works for you
Just make sure what you put in is more than you take out.
Don't be selfish and don't be mean
Don't just become part of the machine
It's not enough to just pay your way and raise your kids through school.
That's nothing more than yeast cells do
And you should expect a lot more from you
Think of some things that you can do that
will outlast all of us.
Spend your money, yeh spend your dime
Spend some thoughts and yeh spend some time
Don't forget to pause and love what's all around you
It's your life
